Due to the presence of inter-particle cohesive force, cohesive particles reveal totally different
fluidization behaviors as compared to the non-cohesive system. This paper studies the …

Clustering is often presumed to lead to enhanced agglomeration between cohesive grains
due to the reduced relative velocities of particles within a cluster. Our discrete-particle …

In this work, the cohesion-specific inputs for a recent continuum theory for cohesive particles
are estimated for moderately cohesive particles that form larger agglomerates via discrete …

The continuum description of rapid cohesive-particle flows comprises the population
balance, which tracks various agglomerate sizes in space and time, and kinetic-theory …

Mixing in a noncohesive wet fluidized bed was studied using the two-fluid model (TFM) and
a zero-dimensional (0D) approach. The employed TFM was extended to simulate droplet …

Random packing of wet grains is numerically investigated using a multiscale discrete
element method. The cohesion between wet grains is evaluated by the Weber number, with …

Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) exhibit low toxicity and high chemical stability, attractive for
developing of nanofluids (NFs) for advanced medical applications. This research focuses on …

Individual wet particle collisions can significantly affect the macroscale behaviors of granular
flow systems. The collision process between two wet particles consists of deformation and …

Numerical simulations based on DEM-CFD were conducted to study the behavior of gas-
solid flows of cohesive particles under various values of particle friction and restitution …

Oblique collisions of three solid spheres coated with thin viscous layers are simulated, both
to elucidate the interesting physics of the collision outcomes and to lay the groundwork for a …
