In this chapter our attention will primarily be restricted to the dispersed phase. Clearly the continuous phase is also important, but in this chapter we will discuss the state or evolution of the continuous phase only as needed in the context of characterizing the state of the dispersed phase. Consider the case of a turbulent multiphase flow with a random distribution of monosized spherical particles (or droplets or bubbles) within it. Imagine taking pictures of the particle distribution in an experiment (i.e., in one realization) without recording the details of the flow surrounding the particles.
