This paper presents an unresolved computational fluid dynamic–discrete element method
(CFD–DEM) model for the simulation of flows mixing fluid and grains. The grains trajectories …

This work describes a numerical model to compute the translational and rotational motion of
N spherical magnetic particles settling in a quiescent viscous fluid under creeping flow …

Ocean-scale sediment dispersion and sedimentation problems are studied using the
Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). A SPH formulation based on a mixture model for …

Shear-thinning viscoelastic (STVE) flows exhibit intriguing phenomena owing to their
complex rheology and the coupling of various forces involved. Here, we present an …

Technical activities on seafloor for harvesting polymetallic nodules result in a displacement
of a large amount of sediment, which is convected away from the site by the underlying …

Streaming potential mediated pressure driven electrokinetic transport of Phan-Thien–Tanner
fluids in a slit type parallel plate microchannel is studied analytically and semianalytically …

When sedimenting in a viscous fluid under gravity, a cloud of particles undergoes a complex
shape evolution due to the hydrodynamic interactions. In this work, Lagrange particle …

The gravity-driven settlement process of bi-disperse particle clouds is investigated by using
a computational fluid dynamic–discrete element method coupled model. The purpose of this …

We investigate the evolution of spherical clouds of charged particles that migrate under the
action of a uniform external electrostatic field. Hydrodynamic interactions are modelled by …

Technical activities to collect poly-metallic nodules on a seabed are likely to disturb the top-
layer sediment and re-suspend it into the ambient ocean water. The transport of the re …
