Predicting phase inversion in agitated dispersions with machine learning algorithms

"In agitated systems, the phase inversion (PI) phenomenon – the mechanism by which a dispersed phase becomes the continuous one – has been studied extensively in an empirical manner and few models have been put forward through the years. The underlying physics are still to be fully understoo...
