Computational Models for Polydisperse Particulate and Multiphase Systems

Daniele L. Marchisio is an Associate Professor at the Politecnico di Torino, Italy, where he received his Ph.D. in 2001. He held visiting positions at the Laboratoire des Science du Génie Chimique, CNRS–ENSIC (Nancy, France), Iowa State University (USA), Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (Switzerland), University College London (UK) and has been an invited professor at Aalborg University (Denmark) and University of Valladolid (Spain). He acts as referee for the key international journals of his field of research. He has authored 60 scientific papers, five book chapters and co-edited the volume Multiphase Reacting Flows (2007).

Rodney O. Fox is the Anson Marston Distinguished Professor of Engineering at Iowa State University, Associate Scientist at the US-DOE Ames Laboratory and Senior Research Fellow in the EM2C laboratory at the Ecole Centrale Paris, France. His numerous professional awards include a NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award in 1992 and Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2007. The impact of Fox's work touches every technological area dealing with multiphase flow and chemical reactions. His monograph Computational Models for Turbulent Reacting Flows (Cambridge University Press, 2003) offers an authoritative treatment of the field.
