Summary

This chapter identifies systems where dispersed multiphase flow is important as well as the key fluid physics via important engineered and natural systems. This includes energy systems and propulsion systems, manufacturing, processing and transport systems, as well as environmental and biological systems. In addition, this chapter sets forth key terminology and assumptions for dispersed multiphase flow, the key velocity reference frames used for multiphase flow, and the assumption of continuum conditions.
