    The document discusses turbulent dispersion force, which is a model for turbulent momentum transfer between phases in multiphase flows. It describes the physical meaning of turbulent dispersion force and presents several common models for calculating the force, including the Lopez de Bertodano model, Simonin model, and Burns et al. model. It also discusses limiting functions that can be applied to the turbulent dispersion force calculation.
