The Dynamics of Fluidized Particles

Description

Recently, major progress has been made in the development of equations to describe the motion of fluid-particle mixtures and their application to a limited range of problems. However, results are only as good as their underlying equations, so it is essential to have a clear understanding of the fundamental physics. In The Dynamics of Fluidized Particles, Jackson formulates these equations carefully and fully describes the important existing applications that test their ability to predict salient phenomena.

'... much research has been directed towards understanding the science of fluidization ... this book by Roy Jackson is a most welcome addition to this literature ... an excellent book'. J. F. Davidson, Journal of Fluid Mechanics 'The book is clearly written and offers a new perspective ...'. Valeriu Al. Sava, Zentralblatt fur Mathematik '... bringing into sharp focus a single approach to a single problem ... it will make a lasting contribution ...'. D. Weare, Contemporary Physics '... this is an unparalleled treatise on the mechanics of fluidization ' this book will be treasured by researchers and instructors who wish to gain insight into the mechanistic interpretation of such intriguing questions as the genesis of bubbles. Others will find this book to be an invaluable reference.' L.-S. Fan, International Journal of Multiphase Flow
