This paper reviews the use of direct numerical simulation (DNS) models for the study of
mass, momentum and heat transfer phenomena prevailing in dense gas–solid flows. In …

This article reviews the general features of the multiscale structures in particle–fluid systems
and the characterization, modeling, and simulation methods for these systems. The …

Hydrodynamic characteristics in a cyclone separator are simulated by means of DEM-CFD.
Reynolds stress turbulence model (RSM) is used to capture gas turbulence. By changing the …

This paper presents three-dimensional numerical simulations of non-Brownian concentrated
suspensions in a Couette flow at zero Reynolds number using a fictitious domain method …

We suggest a novel variant of Discrete Element Method (DEM) to simulate the flow dynamics
of granular material made of non-spherical particles. Our approach is limited to particles of …

A numerical method based upon the immersed boundary technique for the fluid–solid
coupling and on a soft-sphere approach for solid–solid contact is used to perform direct …

The study on fluid-solid interaction in heterogeneous suspensions is essential for theoretical
research and engineering practice. In this paper, a three-dimensional fully resolved SPH …

Soil compaction not only reduces available pore volume in which fluids are stored, but it
alters the arrangement of soil constituents and pore geometry, thereby adversely impacting …

Large-scale numerical simulation using the discrete element method (DEM) contributes to
improving our understanding of granular flow dynamics involved in many industrial …

Modeling and direct numerical simulation of particle-laden flows have a tremendous variety
