Multiphase Microfluidics: The Diffuse Interface Model
Multiphase Microfluidics: The Diffuse Interface Model
Summary
This unique survey of how the diffuse interface model can be applied to multiphase flow modeling stresses its use in micro-engineering. It proves the model's robustness in accounting for flows without sharp interfaces, such as coalescing drops and bubbles.

Multiphase Microfluidics: The Diffuse Interface Model by Roberto Mauri
Diffuse interface (D.I.) model for muliphase flows.- Phase separation of viscous ternary liquid mixtures.- Dewetting and decomposing films of simple and complex liquids.- Phase-field models. Multiphase flows are typically described assuming that the different phases are separated by a sharp interface, with appropriate boundary conditions. This approach breaks down whenever the lengthscale of the phenomenon that is being studied is comparable with the real interface thickness, as it happens, for example, in the coalescence and breakup of bubbles and drops, the wetting and dewetting of solid surfaces and, in general, im micro-devices. The diffuse interface model resolves these problems by assuming that all quantities can vary continuously, so that interfaces have a non-zero thickness, i.e. they are "diffuse". The contributions in this book review the theory and describe some relevant applications of the diffuse interface model for one-component, two-phase fluids and for liquid binary mixtures, to model multiphase flows in confined geometries.Roberto Mauri is a professor of Chemical Engineering (DICCISM) at the University of Pisa, Italy. He received his B.S. and M.S. from the Politecnico di Milano and his Ph.D. from Technion, Haifa, Israel in 1984. He has been a visiting professor and teacher at MIT (Cambridge, USA), City College of CUNY and California Institute of Technology (Pasadena, USA). Professor Mauri has more than 60 publications to his name. He received the Landau prize in Tel Aviv in 1984.
In 2012 he published his book Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics in Multiphase Flows with Springer.c
