We are glad to announce that our next PhDTalks Seminar will be held on Tuesday 24 May in room 5.1.1 and online from 6:15 pm to 7:15 pm CET.

PhDTalk is a series of seminars and discussions between PhD students. The events are aimed at providing a place to network and get in contact with many of
the projects developed in our department.

Speaker Qi Yang will talk about “Development of a σ-only twofluid model for the prediction of pseudo-homogeneous slurry pipe flow”.

Abstract:

Slurry pipe flows are involved in many engineering applications. Over recent decades, many efforts have been dedicated to slurry pipe flows due to the complexity of the system. The well established ? − ? two-fluid model is capable to predict the critical variables, such as mean phase velocity, concentration profile, hydraulic gradient. Further assessment of predictive capacity of the ? − ? model was performed and an effective calibration strategy was proposed and verified. An improved ? −only model was developed and distributed through OpenFOAM.

These events are self organised by PhD students and speakers are chosen on a voluntary basis.
At the end of each event a small refreshment funded by the department is available.

If you are interested in presenting during one of these events, please send an email to andrea.opreni@polimi.it if you belong to the ISSG programme or to chiara.recalcati@polimi.it if you are attending the IAI programme.
