Mixing and Dispersion of Viscous Liquids and Powdered Solids

摘要: Publisher Summary Mixing and dispersion of viscous fluids—blending in the polymer processing literature—is result complex interaction between flow events occurring at drop length-scales: breakup, coalescence, hydrodynamic interactions. Similarly, mixing powdered solids liquids is events—erosion, fragmentation aggregation—occurring agglomerate length scales. Important applications these processes include compounding molten polymers fine particles melts. The modeling has undergone exciting progress past few years. Computations have reached maturity exploitation concepts results context realistic devices now a reality. However, advances been restricted to single-phase fluids. Further research needed gain advancements flows.
