Multiphase systems

The processing or handling of material streams containing more than one phase represents a bottleneck for the processing industry. To improve on this requires multidisciplinary research to study and model processes on the nano- and microlevel and to use this for formulating knowledge-based macro-models.

This group works in this challenging area carrying out experimental, numerical and theoretical work in cooperation with industry and the classical sciences of physics, mathematics and chemistry. It is positioned in the unit of Theoretical Physics and Energy Physics and is associated with the unit Petroleum and Process Technology. It is thus a part of an interdisciplinary cooperation woven into the structure of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Bergen.
