"Multiphase Flow Dynamics 3: Thermal Interactions" by Nikolay Ivanov Kolev

In this volume methods for describing of the thermal interactions in multiphase dynamics are provided. In addition a large number of valuable experiments is collected and predicted using the methods introduced in this monograph. Volumes 3 devoted to the important constitutive relations for mathematical description of the mechanical and thermal interactions.

Thermal Interactions of multiphase dynamics are provided.
Presents an introduction to thermal interactions in multiphase flow.
The volume has the character of a handbook and accomplish this function excellently.
The models are described in detail and a great number of comprehensive examples and some cases useful for testing numerical solutions are included.

This monograph package contains theory, methods and practical experience for describing complex transient multi-phase processes in arbitrary geometrical configurations, providing a systematic presentation of the theory and practice of numerical multi-phase fluid dynamics.

The volume is very useful for scientists and practicing engineers in the fields of technical thermodynamics, chemical engineering, fluid mechanics, and for mathematicians with interest in technical problems. It can give a good overview of the dynamically developing, complex field of knowledge to students.
