Multiphase Flows - Modelling, Simulation, Experiment and Application
Short Course
Our Short Course, two days - from Monday noon until Wednesday noon, is designed to provide knowledge of the use of numerical and experimental methods for multiphase flows.
The first one and a half days of the Short Course will focus on general topics. In the morning of the third day one group will specialize on experimental techniques including laboratory practices. The other group will learn about specific multiphase capabilities of ANSYS CFX/FLUENT, Simcenter STAR-CCM+ and OpenFOAM including a demonstration case setup (parallel sessions) for each code.
The numerical part will focus on finite-volume methods for Euler-Euler and Euler-Lagrange multiphase flow predictions, and on associated mathematical models. The experimental part will provide knowledge of the selection, installation and usage of modern gas-liquid measurement techniques and instruments, such as wire-mesh sensors, needle probes, optical tools as shadowgraphy or process microscopy and computed tomography systems (gamma, X-ray etc.) along with the application of data analysis tools.
The Short Course will address the interests of engineers, chemists, physicists and technicians active in research and design, who want to be informed about modern design methods and tools for multiphase flows.

Short Course Dinner on Tuesday, 11 Nov 2025
This year, the Short Course Dinner will take place in the rustic Feldschlößchen Stammhaus on Budapester Straße, not far from Dresden's main railway station.
After the Short Course, you can take the bus transfer directly from the conference location to the Feldschlößchen Stammhaus. The former machine house offers a brewery atmosphere and beers from the Dresden brewery combined with Saxon, but also modern cuisine made from regional products. Enjoy a relaxed evening with a buffet and drinks included until 9 pm.
After dinner, you can reach the main train station in about 20 minutes on foot or in 5 minutes by bus line 62 directly at the “Agentur für Arbeit” stop at the Feldschlößchen Stammhaus.
