The objective of this symposium is to provide a forum for the presentation of current experimental, theoretical and computational work in gas-liquid multiphase flows. Measurements and predictions in such complex systems are particularly challenging and have attracted a great deal of attention over the years. The symposium will provide the opportunity for the presentation of results obtained from the use of novel measuring techniques, recent theoretical developments and models, as well as the latest computational algorithms. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Hydrodynamic Modeling of gas-liquid flows
- Transport phenomena at phase interfaces
- Gas-liquid flow instabilities and control
- Instrumentation and measuring techniques
- Flow patterns and transitions
- Dynamics of bubbles, droplets and sprays
- Scaling of gas-liquid flow systems
- Micro- and nano-scale gas-liquid flows
- Turbulence in gas-liquid flows
- Industrial applications of gas-liquid flows
- Gas-liquid flows in micro-gravity environments
- Molecular dynamics simulations in gas-liquid flows
- Numerical simulations of gas-liquid flows
- Transport in bubbly and droplet flows
