About the authors
Professor Dimitri Gidaspow is a distinguished university professor. His pioneering research has created a widely used capability for solving practical problems that are related to industrial fluidized-bed reactors with the help of fundamental multiphase flow equations. Dimitri has been a major contributor to the development of constitutive relations employed in these software products to describe gas-particle flow, such as those for drag and solids stress. His 1994 textbook, Multiphase Flow and Fluidization Continuum and Kinetic Theory Descriptions, published by Academic Press, is widely used by students and industrial practitioners all over the world. In 1985, he received the AIChE Heat Transfer and Energy Conversion Division's Donald Q. Kern Award. His contributions have been recognized through the Flour-Daniel Lectureship Award in PSRI Fluidization and Fluid Particle System by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) (2002), the AIChE Ernst W. Thiele Award (2005) and the AIChE Thomas Baron Award (2006).
Professor Shuyan Wang's research activities are in the computational fluid dynamics (CFD), fluidization experimental design and petroleum engineering. She has published one book and over hundred international publications. She has received a number of national awards including 2012 Heilongjiang Outstanding Youth Science Fund, Program for New Century Excellent Talents in University of Ministry of Education of China (2011), Ministry of Education National Excellent Doctorial Dissertation awards (2011) and distinguished professor of Longjiang scholars (2013).
