- I wrote my Ph.D thesis on gas-liquid fluid mechanics, and
- as a result have a pretty complete software package to do
- pipe flow calculations, as well as lots of course notes
- and other materials that might be useful.
-
- I have been thinking of offering to teach a course at
- some of the nearby universities, but have never heard
- of any university nearby offering gas-liquid fluid
- mechanics courses.
-
- So I thought I'd take a small survey of the audience
- here and ask:
-
- * Do any of you fluid mechanics students know anything
- about gas-liquid flow?
-
- * If so, did you learn it at your university?
-
- * Would you be interested in an introductory course,
- covering flow pattern theory, mechanistic modelling,
- computer computations, perhaps some heat transfer
- or phase change?
-
- * Would you prefer analytical or computer problem sets?
-
- My original idea was to self-publish a short textbook
- (150 pages, 8.5 by 11) which would include software,
- exercises, and charts, and which would sell for $25 or
- less.
-
- Gas-liquid flow is a cool subject, which almost no
- universities teach about, much to their discredit,
- my thinkst. Question is: does anyone care?
