Current revision as of 14:01, 5 August 2010

Transport phenomena, which represent transports of momentum, heat and mass, include fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer. The discussions of governing equations in the links below can be applied to Fluid Mechanics, Heat and Mass Transfer, thermal-fluids aspects of Combustion, as well as Multiphase Systems.

• Basics
• Integral Formulation

Transformation formula, continuity, momentum, energy, entropy, and conservation of mass species equations.

• Differential Formulation

Continuity, momentum, energy, entropy, and conservation of mass species equations.

• Classifications of PDE and boundary conditions

Classification of PDEs and boundary conditions.

• Jump and boundary conditions at interfaces

Conservation of mass, momentum, energy, and mass species.

• Rarefied vapor self-diffusion model

• Combustion

• Averaging Formulation

Averaging approaches, multi-fluid model, homogeneous model, porous media, and Boltzmann statistical averaging.
