Happy New Year 2012 from Cardiff/ECCM 2012/XFEM 2013 ECCOMAS Thematic Conference
Dear imechanicians,
I would like to wish
you a Happy New Year 2012 (Blwyddyn Newydd Dda 2012), and hope
that it will bring you what you seek in life.
The best wishes from our
institute (iMAM) in Cardiff are attached.
In the attachment, you will
find information about the next ECCOMAS Conference on the
extended finite element method (XFEM 2013) and details on the
activities of our institute in 2011.
Finally, I would like to let
you know that our institute is co-organising the following
Short Review of Approaches in Multiphase Flow, Advantages & Disadvantages
Hi,
I need some information about available approaches in multiphase flow analysis. What is need is a SHORT, QUICK review, paper, ... listing the giving information about different approaches and pros and cons of each approach and their application limitations.
There are many online resiurces available, but they are usually in form of thesis, too lengthy and detailed for my purpose at the moment.
Any suggestion is appreciated...
Thanks,
Hossein
