Course Description
ME 202ab. Engineering Two-Phase Flows. 9 units (3-0-6);
first, second terms.
Prerequisites: AMa 95abc, CE/ME 101 abc or equivalents.
- Selected topics in engineering two-phase flows with emphasis on
practical problems in modern hydro-systems. Fundamental fluid mechanics
and heat, mass, and energy transport in multiphase flows.
Liquid/vapor/gas (LVG) flows, nucleation, bubble dynamics, cavitating
and boiling flows, models of LVG flows, instabilities, dynamics, and
wave propagation; fluid/structure interactions. Discussion of
two-phase flow problems in conventional, nuclear, and geothermal
power plants, marine hydrofoils, and other hydraulic systems.
