Multiphase flows are of high relevance in a number of industrial processes. Research in multiphase flows encompasses scientific and engineering disciplines, different technological contexts, a wide spectrum of different scales and a multitude of different analytical and experimental approaches. To have a better understanding of multiphase flows and to establish reliable computational models, experimental and computational techniques are of high relevance. The International Multiphase Flow Technology Forum (IMFTF) aims to help exchange knowledge and share experiences within the international community.

The IMFTF’s main objectives are to promote scientific and technical communication as well as to foster collaborations among researchers. Typical areas, where we aim to make an impact, range from fundamental research in Computational and Experimental Methods for Multiphase Flows, Bubbly and Droplet Flows, Particle-laden Flows, Turbulence in Multiphase Flows, to industrial applications in Reactive Multiphase Flows, Granular Media, Fluidization, Cavitation, Nucleation, Mixing, Collision, Agglomeration and Breakup and Flow Instabilities.

The IMFTF hopes to stimulate discussion and make an impact on the future directions of important scientific areas. The IMFTF welcomes discussion and works on new problems in the field and aims at expanding the boundaries of essential knowledge to solve challenging problems.
