Specific examples of each regime described in Multiphase Flow Regimes are listed below:
Bubbly flow examples include absorbers, aeration, air lift pumps, cavitation, evaporators, flotation, and scrubbers.
Droplet flow examples include absorbers, atomizers, combustors, cryogenic pumping, dryers, evaporation, gas cooling, and scrubbers.
Slug flow examples include large bubble motion in pipes or tanks.
Stratified/free-surface flow examples include sloshing in offshore separator devices and boiling and condensation in nuclear reactors.
Particle-laden flow examples include cyclone separators, air classifiers, dust collectors, and dust-laden environmental flows.
Pneumatic transport examples include transport of cement, grains, and metal powders.
Fluidized bed examples include fluidized bed reactors and circulating fluidized beds.
Slurry flow examples include slurry transport and mineral processing
Hydrotransport examples include mineral processing and biomedical and physiochemical fluid systems
Sedimentation examples include mineral processing.
