Influence of Inertia on Inverse Fluidization in a narrow rectangular channel: An Experimental Study

The presence of particles in a flow can change the flow behaviour in an unpredictable manner, that leads us to multiphase flow. Multiphase flows are present in nature and in everyday life around us. The most common example of a multiphase flow, that one can think of, is the treatment of drinking water using liquid-solid fluidization in softening...

Cavitation: CFD Analysis of Cavitation Dynamics in a Converging-Diverging Nozzle

The main goal of this master thesis is to reproduce by CFD computations the characteristic cavitation dynamics in a venturi which were experimentally discovered at TU Delft by Jahangir and al. The different cavitation regimes were obtained by modifying the global static pressure and flow velocity in the flow loop. Based on this, three different...
