NE Professor Bertodano publishes new monograph

School of Nuclear Engineering Associate Professor Martin Lopez de Bertodano recently authored a textbook, Two-Fluid Model Stability, Simulation and Chaos, with co-authors: NE graduate William Fullmer, Research Assistant, University of Colorado, Boulder, Professor Alejandro Clausse, Universidad Nacional del Centro, Argentina and Professor Emeritus and former Department Head Victor H. Ransom.

Using the methods of Computational Fluid Dynamics, Chaos, Stability Analysis, Numerical Simulation, Von Neumann Analysis, Dr. Bertodano (pictured right) and his co-authors examined the Two-Fluid Model (TFM) fluid dynamic stability. TFM stability is a problem that remains open since its inception more than forty years ago. The difficulty is formidable because it involves the combined challenges of turbulence and two-phase topological structure, both nonlinear phenomena. This book addressed the linear and nonlinear two-phase stability of the one-dimensional TFM material waves and the numerical methods used to solve it. The objective is to analyze two-phase linear and nonlinear physical stabilization and artificial regularization, separating two-phase structure from turbulence.
