“…Nowadays, combined CFD-PBM models are widely investigated in the gas-liquid and liquid-liquid fields (e.g. Andersson et al, 2004;Chen et al, 2005;Jakobsen et al, 2005;Lehr et al, 2002;Moilanen et al, 2007;Olmos et al, 2001;Vikhansky and Kraft, 2004;Wang et al, 2006). All the references are based on the assumption that the particle size distribution is modelled with PBM while only averaged particle sizes as the Sauter mean diameter are coupled to the fluid dynamics.…”
