Granular matter is ubiquitous in nature and is present in diverse forms in important
engineering, industrial and natural processes. Particle-based computational modelling has …

The coupling between fluid and granular materials is commonly encountered in nature and
engineering practice. Moreover, the shape of granular materials in practical applications is …

In this work, based on the unresolved CFD-DEM framework, a smoothed volume distribution
model (SVDM) is developed to simulate the migration of fines in suspension flow through a …

Tons of products are facilitated through powder mixing processes. The quality of the final
products is highly influenced by the mixing state. Hence, detailed information about the …

In this work, a recent smoothed CFD-DEM model is employed to study the segregation and
mixing behaviours in a bi-disperse solid–liquid fluidised bed (SLFB) with different superficial …

A study was carried out using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) to reveal velocity vector flow
fields in the freeboard region of a Geldart A fluidized bed. For the first time the effect of …

Spouted bed has drawn much attention due to its good heat and mass transfer efficiency in
many chemical units. Investigating the flow patterns and heat and mass transfer inside a …

Mixing of particles is important in fluidized beds. For a more accurate and realistic
investigation of this process, it is necessary to consider the inter-particle forces. The effect of …

The wake structure and particle entrainment behavior during a single bubble ascent in a
liquid–solid system were investigated through numerical simulations. A combined volume-of …

Benefiting from the large specific surface area and controllable physical behaviors, sub-
micron sized polymer particles (100–1000 nm) have been fabricated as sensors, color …
