Two-Phase Flows

The text explains the fundamental mechanisms and complexities involved in two-phase flow systems. It presents the physical and rheological properties of slurries, solid-liquid interactions, and the flow regimes. The book focuses on sector-specific use cases, including energy, mining, and processing systems.
