This book has been written for graduate students, scientists and engineers who need in-depth theoretical foundations to solve two-phase problems in various technological systems. Based on extensive research experiences focused on the fundamental physics of two-phase flow, the authors present the detailed theoretical foundation of multi-phase flow thermo-fluid dynamics as they apply to a variety of scenarios, including nuclear reactor transient and accident analysis, energy systems, power generation systems and even space propulsion.

The first elementary, general text on two-phase flow suitable for graduate students in engineering, this widely used monograph has been newly updated by author Graham B. Wallis. The two-part treatment focuses on analytical techniques and practical applications. Praised by the Journal of Fluid Mechanics for its "most useful compilation of experimental results," the text features much of the author's own work.

This book describes mathematical formulations and computational methods for solving two-phase flow problems with a computer code that calculates thermal hydraulic problems related to light water and fast breeder reactors. The physical model also handles the particle and gas flow problems that arise from coal gasification and fluidized beds. The second part of this book deals with the computational methods for particle transport.
