COMPUTAT METH TWO-PHASE FLOW..{W/CD}

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.

Readership: Undergraduate and graduate students studying mechanical engineering; professionals dealing with fluid mechanics, nuclear physics, and plasma physics in their day-to-day encounters — particularly the use of two-phase flows, and particle transport. Key Features:

• The only book on the market that provides a comprehensive working computer code for simulating two-phase flow problems
• Provides a comprehensive discussion on the physics of the imploding process for the inertial confinement fusion capsule surrounded by a uniform pressure field
• Detailed discussion on the variable Eddington approximation, discrete ordinates, and Monte Carlo methods for solving photon transport equations. A standard multi-group discretization of Fokker–Planck–Boltzmann equation is calculated including Coulombscattering and nuclear reactions for charge particle transport
