Turbulent motions of a multiphase fluid are present in many natural processes and technological applications. In clouds the interactions between turbulence and dispersed droplets lead to the growth of water micro-particles by means of collisions and coalescence that may accelerate the rain. In engineering, transport and evaporation phenomena of micro-droplets in pipes are crucial in the mixing between the fuel and oxidizer in combustion chambers. A good mixing efficiency between the two phases enables smaller and lighter burners.
