Multiphase Flow Course: Basic Concepts, Modeling and CFD Simulations
This is a unique new course to integrate our extensive experiences on Transport Phenomena (Fluid Mechanics, Heat and Mass Transfer), Dynamic Surface Phenomena, Interfacial Properties, CFD, OpenFOAM, for Multiphase Flow Modeling and Simulation.
April 23 to June 11, 2024. (15sessions x 90 min, 8 Weeks), Tuesdays and Thursdays, 16:00-17:30 (Berlin Time) Registration Form👇(Deadline: Extended to 23 April 2024):
After more than 3 decades developing modeling and computational methodologies for multiphase flow simulation, nowadays we have certain methodologies and tools for this purpose including: Eulerian-Eulerian, Eulerian-Lagrangian, Volume-of-Fluid (VOF), Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM), Discrete Element Method (DEM), etc. However to benefit from the available methods and tools, there is lack of basic CFD knowledge, and much more lack of experts who know basic concepts and modeling for Multiphase Simulations.
However most of the available positions and opportunities for CFD experts are related to multiphase flow simulations, not only in mechanical, material and process engineering but also for many new fields in pharmaceutical industry, biomedical, biotechnology, food process, environmental technology, mines and minerals, which are involve in multiphase phenomena, intensively. In comparison with CFD simulations of the single phase systems, we have to manage two additional following steps and required knowledge towards Multiphase Simulations:
1-Interface tracking/capturing algorithm (e.g. via definition of the phase indicator and interface reconstruction techniques in VOF)
2-Integrating surface forces term in Naiver-Stokes Equations at interface of two phases (e.g. via continuum surface force model in VOF).
And this is just the base for multiphase simulation for pure systems. Still there are other open challenges, such as:
-Concentration/Temperature dependence of Surface Tension values for most of the practical mixtures and solutions. In addition to the known surfactants & detergents, most of the petrochemical products, mines and minerals, food materials, drugs, micro-nanoparticles, dyes, pesticides, polymers, proteins, cells, microorganisms, are surface active. While small concentration of these material can be negligible on viscosity & density, it can change the Surface Tension and Interfacial Properties, dramatically, even in ppm levels.
-Additional functions and refinements for breakups and coalescence processes.

Dear Prof Javadi,
The multiphase looks interesting.
I wanted to ask if cavitation, boiling and evaporation modelling will be thought?
I believe these are also part of multiphase flow
Thanks
Please can the organisers include cavitation, boiling, evaporation and condensation multiphase modelling.
Thanks
Dear Inima, the details will be related next week, some of these items will be covered, however the basis of multiphase flow modeling and simulation is enough content that we can’t discuss details of specific applications. The main concepts, modeling strategy and simulation methodologies will be presented.
Dear Prof Javadi
The payment for this course which one should I choose Regular or other choice.
Regards
Dear Dr. Ghaidaa, regarding your valuable activities as a WAC member and participant of our other courses you have opportunity to take the 50% discount. We would be happy to have your valuable contribution also for Multiphase Flow Course.
Dear Dr.Aliyar
Thank you so much for all the valuable information that you delivered to us, I am happy to be part of the WAC.
Hello Proj Javadi,
The registration form isn’t submitting or proceeding to the payment page.
it shows the message at the top “Form has not been submitted, please see the errors below.”, but there is no error message shown anywhere. Could you advise on how to proceed?

Akeem
Dear Akeem, thanks for your message. We have received already your registration form, and your payment is also confirmed. Thanks for your valuable contribution. I think World-Academies Registration Section sent you already the details of course, and the required links and meeting ID for our live lectures starting on 23 April. See you then.
Hello. I hope this message finds you well.
I would like to pay for this course with a credit card but this option is not available. As I cannot pay wit Paypal could you please guide me?
Dear Golnaz, thanks for your message, please contact to registration@world-academies.com , they will reply you to support your registration with other possible procedure.
Thank you for your response. I could register successfully.
Great, then see you for the course in April.
Dear Professor, I get this notification after the payment: “Thanks for your registration. The World-Academies Scientific Board appreciate your valuable contributions in advance. You will be informed about the confirmation of your registration. You can contact us directly via WAC messenger or email to workshop@world-academies.com , if you have any questions about the courses and workshops you have registered.” But since then, no mail was received. How long should it take the confirmation to complete.
Please check, to day is the enrollment day and still no thing sent to me or my e-mail.
I sent e-mail to workshop@world-academies.com and registration@world-academies.com but have not received any response from them.
Dear Prof. Javadi,
I hope this message finds you well.
I registered for this course, and since my university needs the invoice bill, I sent an email to registration@world-academies.com. However, I have not received any response from them. It is not acceptable for these professional teams to not reply to the requests of course participants.
Sincerely,
Golnaz
Hi,
I’ve got the same issue. Did you received their support, by any chance?
Hello.
Not yet even after more than two weeks.
I got the mail now. You can try to contact Ms. Elham Jafari. She very active and supportive.
Dear Golnaz, WAC Registration Section will send it to you this week. Thanks for your valuable contribution.
