Population balance models are tools for the study of dispersed systems, such as granular
materials, polymers, colloids and aerosols. They are applied with increasing frequency …

Recently, there has been an increase in the use of numerical simulation technology in
pharmaceutical preparation processes. Numerical simulation can contribute to a better …

The computational cost of the discrete element method (DEM)-population balance model
(PBM) coupled framework is predominantly attributed to DEM simulations. To overcome this …

This study proposes a novel approach based on the variational iteration method to solve the
nonlinear aggregation population balance equation. The approach provides great flexibility …

A new volume and number consistent finite volume scheme for the numerical solution of a
collisional nonlinear breakage problem is introduced. The number consistency is achieved …

In estuaries and coastal waters, the flocculation of cohesive sediments is significantly
affected by extracellular polymeric substances secreted by microalgae. In this study …

Achieving high mechanical performance in metallic materials requires precise control of the
inclusion population, and the treatment of liquid steel in gas-stirred ladles is crucial for …

The present work is focused on developing a finite volume scheme for a multidimensional
fragmentation equation. The finite volume scheme is established using the concept of …

In this paper, we focus on providing a discrete formulation for a reduced aggregation
population balance equation. The new formulation is simpler, easier to code, and adaptable …

This study focuses on performing a convergence analysis of the recently developed mass
based finite volume scheme [20] to simulate a Smoluchowski coagulation equation. The …
