Eulerian-Lagrangian methods multiphase flows

For multiphase systems a rough distinction can be made between systems with separated flows and those with dispersed flows. This classification is not only important from a physical point of view but also from a computational perspective since for each class different computational approaches are required. For multiphase systems involving multiphase flow both Eulerian, mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian, and two-material free surface methods can be used. An excellent review on models and numerical methods for multiphase flow has been presented by Stewart and Wendroff (1984). A similar review with emphasis on dilute gas-particle flows has been presented by Crowe (1982).
