DISPERSED TWO-PHASE FLOWS 2020

12-14 October 2021, Lyon, France
Online conference

Meeting organized by Société Hydrotechnique de France

at ENS de Lyon, 15 Parvis René Descartes, 69007 Lyon

In many industrial or environmental situations, particles, drops or bubbles are dispersed in a carrier fluid. Understanding and modeling dispersed flows is therefore a major issue for many applications including chemical engineering (bubble columns, water treatment, fluidized beds, oil refining), nuclear industry (boiling in steam generators, containment spray systems), environmental engineering (sediment transport, coastal erosion, river restauration), geophysics (volcanic processes, fluid migration in sedimentary basins), astrophysics (protoplanetary dust, planet formation) and combustion applications (atomization, spray combustion).

Objective

The objective of the conference is to bring together researchers from different communities (academics and researchers from industrial research institutes in fluid mechanics, chemical engineering, ...) working on fundamental problems involving dispersed flows.

Contributions of work in progress are welcome. This conference is international and will be held in english. 

The conference will be located at Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon (ENS de Lyon), France. It will last three days (September 21-23th, 2020) and will consist in about 60 selected oral presentations (~15 minutes), with several thematic sessions in series. Extra time outside the formal session will be dedicated to discussions between participants.

Topics 

Experimental, numerical and theoretical studies will be presented on the following topics:

• Dynamics and transfer around isolated particles
• Interfacial dynamics (deformation, coalescence and rupture)
• Hydrodynamics of dispersed flows (turbulence, dispersion, two-way coupling)
• Mixing, transfers and phase-change in dispersed flows
• Transport in dispersed flows at high volume fraction
• Complex dispersed flows: density/viscosity stratification, granular & non-Newtonian flows
• Development of experimental methods
• Development of numerical methods
• Multiscale, multiphysics modeling

Important dates

Abstract submission deadline: May 15^th, 2021 (1 page abstract)

Notification of acceptance: June 15^th, 2021

If you intend to submit a contribution to the journal La Houille Blanche (http://tandfonline.com/tlhb), please submit a supplementary manuscript (recommended length is 6 pages, in English or in French).
