Gauge Particles

Edited by: Lars Brink (Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden), Marc Henneaux (Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium & International Solvay Institutes, Belgium), Mikhail A Vasiliev (Lebedev Physical Institute, Russia)

The book surveys the state-of-the-art methods that are currently available to model and simulate the presence of rigid particles in a fluid flow. For particles that are very small relative to the characteristic flow scales and move without interaction with other particles, effective equations of motion for particle tracking are formulated and applied (e.g. in gas-solid flows).
