Computational Methods in Multiphase Flow V
Edited by: A. MAMMOLI, The University of New Mexico, USA and C.A. BREBBIA, Wessex
Institute of Technology, UK
Together with turbulence, multiphase flow remains one of the most challenging
areas of computational mechanics and experimental methods. Numerous
problems remain unsolved to date. Multiphase flows are found in all areas of
technology, at all length scales and flow regimes. The fluids involved can be
compressible or incompressible, linear or nonlinear.
Because of the complexity of the problems, it is often essential to utilize
advanced computational and experimental methods to solve the equations that
describe them. Challenges with these simulations include modelling and
tracking interfaces, dealing with multiple length scales, modelling nonlinear
fluids, treating drop breakup and coalescence, characterizing phase structures,
and many others. Experimental techniques, although expensive and difficult
to perform, are essential to validate models.
This volume includes papers from the fifth international conference on the
subject. Featured topics include: Multiphase Flow Simulation; Interaction of
Gas, Liquids and Solids; Turbulent Flow; Environmental Multiphase Flow;
Bubble and Drop Dynamics; Flow in Porous Media; Heat Transfer; Image
Processing; Interfacial Behaviour.

Transport Phenomena in Fires
Edited by: M. FAGHRI, University of Rhode Island, USA and B. SUNDÉN, Lund University,
Sweden
Controlled fires are beneficial for the generation of heat and power while
uncontrolled fires, like fire incidents and wildfires, are detrimental and
can cause enormous material damage and human suffering. This edited book
presents the state of the art of modeling and numerical simulation of the
important transport phenomena in fires. It describes how computational
procedures can be used in analysis and design of fire protection and fire safety.
Computational fluid dynamics, turbulence modeling, combustion, soot
formation, and thermal radiation modeling are demonstrated and applied to
pool fires, flame spread, wildfires, fires in buildings and other examples.

Advanced Computational Methods in Heat Transfer XI
Edited by: B. SUNDÉN, Lund University, Sweden, Ü. MANDER, University of Tartu, Estonia
and C.A. BREBBIA, Wessex Institute of Technology, UK
Research and development of computational methods for solving and
understanding heat transfer problems continue to be important because heat
transfer topics are commonly of a complex nature and different mechanisms
such as heat conduction, convection, turbulence, thermal radiation and phase
change may occur simultaneously. Typically, applications are found in heat
exchangers, gas turbine cooling, turbulent combustions and fires, electronics
cooling, melting and solidification. Heat transfer has played a major role in
new application fields such as sustainable development and the reduction of
greenhouse gases as well as for micro- and nano-scale structures and bio-
engineering.
In engineering design and development, reliable and accurate computational
methods are required to replace or complement expensive and time-consuming
experimental trial and error work. Tremendous advancements have been
achieved during recent years due to improved numerical solutions of non-
linear partial differential equations and computer developments to achieve
efficient and rapid calculations. Nevertheless, to further progress, computational
methods will require developments in theoretical and predictive procedures –
both basic and innovative – and in applied research. Accurate experimental
investigations are needed to validate the numerical calculations.
This book contains papers originally presented at the Eleventh International
Conference, arranged into the following topic areas: Natural and Forced
Convection and Radiation; Heat Exchanges; Advances in Computational
Methods; Heat Recovery; Heat Transfer; Modelling and Experiments;
Renewable Energy Systems; Advanced Thermal Materials; Heat Transfer in
Porous Media; Multiphase Flow Heat Transfer.

Transport Phenomena in Fuel Cells
Edited by: B. SUNDÉN, Lund University, Sweden and M. FAGHRI, University of Rhode
Island, USA
Fuel cells are expected to play a significant role in the next generation of
energy systems and road vehicles for transportation. However, before this can
happen, substantial progress is required in reducing manufacturing costs and
improving performance. Many of the heat and mass transport processes
associated with fuel cells are not well understood and, depending on the fuel
being used, modifications in the design of the next generation of cells are
needed.
This is the first book to provide a comprehensive analysis of transport
phenomena in fuel cells, covering fundamental aspects of their function,
operation and practical consequences. It will contribute to the understanding
of such processes in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC), Proton Exchange
Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) and Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFC).
Written by eminent scientists and research engineers in the field, individual
chapters focus on various mathematical models and simulations of transport
phenomena in multiphase flows, including dominant processes such as heat
and mass transport and chemical reactions. Relevant experimental data is also
featured.
A detailed summary of state-of-the-art knowledge and future needs, the
text will be of interest to graduate students and researchers working on the
development of fuel cells within academia and industry.
