Building on their dual functionality for solar photothermal absorption and storage,
slurries/dispersions of micro/nano-encapsulated phase-change materials (ePCMs) are …

Modeling of heterogeneous materials and media is a problem of fundamental importance to
a wide class of phenomena and systems, ranging from condensed matter physics, soft …

Gas-solid fluidization technology has been commercialized in many industrial applications
since its implementation in the fluid catalytic cracking process in the early 1940s, however …

In the last decade, a few of the early attempts to bring CFD-DEM of fluidized beds beyond
the limits of small, lab-scale units to larger scale systems have become popular. The …

The macroscopic phenomena and microscopic origin of penetrative migration and retention
of fine particles in porous skeleton under the action of seepage are not yet clear. Migrating …

This article reviews the general features of the multiscale structures in particle–fluid systems
and the characterization, modeling, and simulation methods for these systems. The …

An efficient biomass pyrolysis process requires a comprehensive understanding of the
chemical and physical phenomena that occur at multi‐length and time scales. In this study, a …

Proppant distribution in rough rock fractures is a key factor in the evaluation of the
effectiveness of a hydraulic fracturing operation. This paper focuses on the study of how …

Sand screens are widely used to control sand production in unconsolidated reservoirs.
Because of the lack of insightful understanding of this process, to date, reliably optimizing …

Euler-Lagrange method is powerful for studying dense gas-solid flow, where the Eulerian
grid is typically 3–5 times of particle diameter to ensure the accuracy of information mapping …
