“…Numerical simulations of a solid-liquid-gas three phase flow have been reported in recent years (Nishiura et al, 2008(Nishiura et al, , 2010Washino et al, 2011Washino et al, , 2013aWashino et al, , 2013bJain et al, 2012;Sakai et al, 2012;Sun et al, 2013). Nishiura et al (2008Nishiura et al ( , 2010 and Washino et al (2011Washino et al ( , 2013aWashino et al ( , 2013b conducted numerical simulations using a constrained interpolation profile (CIP) method (Yabe et al, 2001) to solve a gas-liquid two phase flow. Nishiura et al (2010) simulated drying of a droplet of particle suspension in a spray drying process.…”
