Multiphase Hydrodynamics - The subject deals with a general introduction to the science of relatively difficult, hydrodynamics of multiphase systems. This is the flow of liquids (liquids and gases) that contain dispersed particles of some other phase (eg other states).
These are, for example, the following systems: gas bubbles in the liquid (bubbled columns), oil drops in water (extraction), solid particles in the liquid (sedimentation) or droplets in the gas (aerosols), solid particles in the gas (fluidization, aerosols).
The subject will be given a comprehensive overview of the subject and specific topics will be selected for detailed study according to the student's previous training and the focus of the dissertation.
