Additional information
Miscible multi-phase flow problems are ubiquitous in many industries, including food processing,
oil, gas, pharmaceutical and environmental engineering sectors. These flows have more complex
energy conversion characteristics than their single phase or immiscible counterparts. Through
coupled experimentation and modelling, paper quantifies, for first time, fundamental physical limit
to a Newtonian fluid’s ability to mix. Work is of direct importance to AWE [contact: Manager, Design
Physics] and led to Lawrie's Research Fellowship (£47k, 2009-10) and i-CASE PhD award (~£45k,
2011-3) to continue research in this specific area.
