                                                               in Zurich, Switzerland.

Multiphase flows and heat transfer with phase change are of interest to researchers and engineers working in power, nuclear, chemical-process, oil-and-gas, cryogenic, space, food, bio-medical, micro-technology, and other industries. Courses similar to this one have been offered at ETH-Zurich continuously since 1984. Over the years, the courses have continuously evolved, reflecting on-going progress and developments.

The courses are organized in a modular form as an intensive introduction for persons having basic knowledge of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and numerical techniques (introductory tutorial texts are e-mailed to the participants before the course), but also serve as advanced courses for specialists wishing to obtain the latest information.

Part I, Bases, covers the common background material and emphasises the latest modelling and computational aspects of multiphase flows.

Part IIA, New Reactor Systems and Methods, covers the topics of particular interest to nuclear engineers. This module reviews some of the multiphase-flow phenomena taking place in the recently proposed advanced reactor designs (including Generation IV designs) and introduces the state-of-the-art and beyond in modelling and simulation methods.

Part IIB, Computational Multi-Fluid Dynamics (CMFD), reflects the growing interest in the application of CFD techniques to multi-phase flows and covers the most common computational techniques.

Part III, CMFD with Commercial Codes, is attached to both Parts IIA and IIB to present the commercial code developers and their products for both nuclear and other applications.

Course language: English

Lecturers: S. Banerjee, D. Bestion, M.L. Corradini, G. Hetsroni, G.F. Hewitt, D. Lakehal, Simon Lo, H.-M. Prasser, G. Tryggvason, S.A. Vasquez, G. Yadigaroglu and S. Zaleski.

NB: Following the short courses, but independently, ASCOMP GmbH is offering training on its TransAT code on Saturday February 18, on a first-come first-served basis (number of participants limited to 25).
