Multiphase Systems

The Multiphase Systems group studies fundamental and applied aspects of multiphase flows, inspired by industrial applications. Research is done using state-of-the-art numerical tools (DNS, immersed boundary methods) and experimental techniques (e.g. MRI, x-ray, ultrasound imaging and particle image velocimetry).

Our current activity focuses on:

• Advanced measurement techniques for opaque flows (MRI, Ultrasound, X-Ray).
• Dense dispersions, including the transition to turbulence in particle-laden flows, slurries, food emulsions, 3D printing, and jamming and yielding transitions
• Turbulence interacting with free surfaces, with applications ranging from ship air lubrication to transport of floating structures and plastic.
