Abstract
Single phase turbulence is complex and still considered as a not resolved issue in science. Multiphase flow turbulence is much more complex and of course still far from its final accurate mathematical description. Systematic experimental results for steady states are gained and some theories are developed mainly for low concentration particle- and bubble-flows in simple geometry but not for all flow pattern in transient multi-phase flows in general. However, the need of optimum design of industrial facility operating with multiphase flows dictates intensive activities of many scientists in this field. For such a scientific discipline, which is being in “flow”, a summary of the state of the art will help engineers to use what is already achieved and help scientists to understand better where is the lack of physical understanding that has to be filled. This is the reason to write this Section, well knowing the limited range of knowledge accumulated so far. In this work I will review the existing approaches and try to lead them to one that is promising for practical analysis. I will deliberately concentrate my attention to a pragmatic modeling that is far from “decorative mathematics”.
