The History of Multiphase Science and Computational Fluid Dynamics: A Personal Memoir

By Robert W. Lyczkowski

Book Overview

Imparts a personal narrative tracing the critical events in the initiation, development, and propagation of multiphase science and computational fluid dynamics in its historical context

Reveals the amazing chain of incidents and coincidences but for which multiphase science and computational fluid dynamics would never have evolved

Presents in narrative form many facets of multiphase science (MPS), including sand grains, bubbles, and water droplets and how MPS differs from single-phase science

Describes the development of what came to be called the seriated loop (SLOOP) code, intended to replace the RELAP4 code, used to perform safety studies for and to license nuclear reactors and the politics of science that led to its demise
