Yade is an extensible open-source framework for discrete numerical models, focused on the
Discrete Element Method. The computation parts are written in c++ using a flexible object …

In recent years, a number of analytical and numerical models have been dedicated to
characterization of radiative properties of open-cell foams. In the current study, a review of …

In agro-food research and industry, mathematical models are being used to develop and
optimize preharvest and postharvest operations, and their use has grown exponentially over …

In this study, lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is utilized for three-dimensional simulation of
fluid flow through two porous structures, consisting of grains with the same diameter:(i) a …

Abstract In recent years, Monte Carlo numerical methods have increased utilization to
characterize the radiative properties of open cell solid foams. A great interest has been also …

This paper presents the numerical study on fluid flow and heat transfer in reconstructed
porous media at the pore-scale with the double-population thermal lattice Boltzmann (LB) …

The direct proportionality between the flow rate and the pressure gradient of creeping flows
was experimentally discovered by H. Darcy in the 19th century and theoretically justified a …

If you want to install from source, you can install either a release (numbered version, which
is frozen) or the current development version (updated by the developers frequently). You …

Highly porous cellular media such as plastic, ceramic and metal foams present specific
characteristics that make them interesting for a number of applications related to thermal …

A highly efficient receiver is required because re-radiation loss increases dramatically with
increased working temperature. Among a large number of receivers, the fixed-bed Particle …
