 Introduction
Gasliquid flows occur in
many applications. The
motion of bubbles in a
liquid as well as droplets
in a conveying gas stream
are examples of gas
liquid flows.
Bubble columns are
commonly used in several
process industries
Atomization to generate
small droplets for
combustion is important
in power generation
