In its fifth extended edition the successful monograph package Multiphase Flow Dynamics
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. In the present first volume the
local volume and time averaging is used to derive a complete set of conservation equations for
three fluids each of them having multi components as constituents. Large parts of the book are
devoted on the design of successful numerical methods for solving the obtained system of
partial differential equations. Finally the analysis is repeated for boundary fitted
curvilinear coordinate systems designing methods applicable for interconnected multi-blocks.
This fifth edition includes various updates extensions improvements and corrections as well
as a completely new chapter containing the basic physics describing the multi-phase flow in
turbines compressors pumps and other rotating hydraulic machines.
