Particles encountered in nature and engineering practice are normally not spherical but of
irregular shapes. Particle shape plays a key role in determining the behaviour of bulk solids …

Dense particulate reaction system (DPRS) is quite common in many engineering fields such
as energy conversion, petro-chemical processing, mineral processing, chemical …

The paper aims to improve existing correlations for the drag coefficient and averaged
Nusselt number of an ellipsoidal particle in a fluid by additionally considering its orientation …

An immersed moving boundary (IMB) scheme in LBM-DEM is proposed for discrete particle
simulation with arbitrarily complex geometry. Momentum exchange between fluid and …

Discrete particle simulations are widely used to study large-scale particulate flows in
complex geometries where particle–particle and particle–fluid interactions require an …

In this study, a new shape-dependent fluid-particle drag model for irregularly shaped
particles is integrated into the fluid dynamic program CFD-DEM and used to analyse the …

When unresolved CFD-DEM is used in coupling calculation, both fluid flow field and
particles dynamic both are in time and space domains solves. The coupling time step …

Local scour around monopile has long been recognized as a culprit of the instability of
offshore bridges and wind turbines, prompting numerous investigations in recent decades …

Abstract A combined Thermal Lattice Boltzmann Method (TLBM)–Immersed Boundary
Method (IBM)–Discrete Element Method (DEM) scheme was proposed to simulate fluid …

To achieve simulating the fluid-solid systems which consist of irregular polygonal particles
and walls, an improved and extended LBM-IMB-DEM model has been developed. The …
