This book aims to face particles in flows from many different, but
essentially interconnected sides and points of view. Thus the selection
of authors and topics represented in the chapters, ranges from deep
mathematical analysis of the associated models, through the techniques
of their numerical solution, towards real applications and physical
implications.
The scope and structure of the book as well as the selection of authors
was motivated by the very successful summer course and workshop
"Particles in Flows'' that was held in Prague in the August of 2014.
This meeting revealed the need for a book dealing with this specific and
challenging multidisciplinary subject, i.e. particles in industrial,
environmental and biomedical flows and the combination of fluid
mechanics, solid body mechanics with various aspects of specific
applications.
