The Dynamics of Fluidized Particles by Roy Jackson

The Dynamics of Fluidized Particles by Roy Jackson

Recent years have seen major progress in the development of equations to describe the motion of fluid-particle mixtures and their application to a limited range of problems. With rapid advances in numerical methods and computing power we are now presented with new opportunities to use direct integration of these equations in the solution of complex practical problems. However, results so obtained are only as good as the equations on which they are based, so it is essential to have a clear understanding of the underlying physics and the extent to which it is reflected properly in these equations. In The Dynamics of Fluidized Particles, first published in 2000, Jackson formulates these equations carefully and fully describes the important existing applications that serve to test their ability to predict salient phenomena. This account will be of value to both starters and established researchers in the field, and also to people interested in applying the equations to practical engineering problems.

'… much research has been directed towards understanding the science of fluidization … this book by Roy Jackson is a most welcome addition to this literature … an excellent book'J. F. Davidson, Journal of Fluid Mechanics
'The book is clearly written and offers a new perspective …'. Valeriu Al. Sava, Zentralblatt für Mathematik
'… bringing into sharp focus a single approach to a single problem … it will make a lasting contribution …'. D. Weare, Contemporary Physics
'… this is an unparalleled treatise on the mechanics of fluidization æ this book will be treasured by researchers and instructors who wish to gain insight into the mechanistic interpretation of such intriguing questions as the genesis of bubbles. Others will find this book to be an invaluable reference.' L.-S. Fan, International Journal of Multiphase Flow

Jackson, Roy: - Roy Buford Jackson was born, raised, and educated in the capitol city of, Austin, Texas. Roy received his bachelor's degree from The University of Texas in Austin and his masters degree from The University of Texas in Arlington. He had a long career in engineering with major companies (35 years), followed by becoming a system/software contractor (20 years). Roy was well known for producing logical focused solutions to major efforts in commercial and military projects. This included communications, aircraft, weapons, defense systems, and in other project areas as well. Roy's s marriage (53 years) developed in him a deep spiritual, poetic view, with eternal love for his wonderful talented wife (Laura Jo Holley Jackson, now in God's hands), and the family she produced for him (Roy James, Lisa, Mark, and Luke). Roy Buford Jackson, An Old Texan, currently lives in Granbury, Texas.
