The only work available to treat the theory of turbulent flow with suspended particles, this book also includes a section on simulation methods, comparing the model results obtained with the PDF method to those obtained with other techniques, such as DNS, LES and RANS. Written by experienced scientists with background in oil and gas processing, this book is applicable to a wide range of industries -- from the petrol industry and industrial chemistry to food and water processing.

Emmanuil G. Sinaiski received his Dr. Eng. Sci. degree in petroleum engineering from Gubkin-State University of Oil & Gas, Moscow, Russia where he was later appointed to a full professorship.
