Modelling compressible multiphase flows [PDF]

open access: yesESAIM: Proceedings, 2013
Summary: We give in this paper a short review of some recent achievements within the framework of multiphase flow modeling. We focus first on a class of compressible two-phase flow models, detailing closure laws and their main properties. Next we briefly summarize some attempts to model two-phase flows in a porous region, and also a class of ...
