A fundamental understanding of the underlying physics of granular (particulate) systems is
not only of academic interest, but is also highly relevant for industrial applications …

Particle science and technology is a rapidly developing interdisciplinary research area with
its core being the understanding of the relationships between micro-and macroscopic …

Computational Fluid Dynamics: A Practical Approach, Fourth Edition is an introduction to
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) fundamentals and commercial CFD software to solve …

Understanding and modelling the dynamic behaviour of particulate systems has been a
major research focus worldwide for many years. Discrete particle simulation plays an …

In response to climatic change, the size and number of moraine-dammed supraglacial and
proglacial lake systems have increased dramatically in recent decades. Given an …

In this paper, recent advances in the discrete-element method (DEM) for describing motion,
deposition, agglomeration or aggregation of a large number of adhesive spherical particles …

DEM has been well established as a powerful numerical technique to study the
fundamentals of granular materials. It has limited application in dealing with practical …

A laboratory scale fluidized bed was examined experimentally and numerically involving
differently sized wooden Geldart-D particle shapes. Simulations were performed with a …

Numerical modelling is a valuable and effective tool for predicting the dynamics of the
inundation caused by the failure of a dam or dyke, thereby assisting in mapping the areas …

We perform numerical simulations of plane strain compression tests of Ottawa sand samples
inspired by previous micro computed tomography experiments. The numerical code used for …
