Particle-laden or droplet-laden turbulent flows occur in many industrial applications and in
natural phenomena. Knowledge about the properties of these flows can help to improve the …

Particle transfer in the wall region of turbulent boundary layers is dominated by the coherent
structures which control the turbulence regeneration cycle. Coherent structures bring …

The multiphase fluid flow in a gas-stirred system for steelmaking ladles is simulated using an
Eulerian–Lagrangian approach. The effects of interphase forces and the bubble-induced …

In dispersed two-phase flows, particle electrification is a prevalent phenomenon that plays a
crucial role in particle transport. However, the influences of electrostatic forces on particle …

Direct numerical simulation (DNS) and large-eddy simulation (LES) of particle-laden
turbulent channel flow, in which the particles experience a drag force, are investigated for …

Transfer and deposition of inertial particles or droplets in turbulent pipe flow are crucial
processes in a number of industrial and environmental applications. In this work, we use …

Turbulence characteristics of vertical air–solid pipe flow are investigated in this paper. Direct
numerical simulations of the gas phase have been performed, while the solid particles have …

Results of point-particle direct numerical simulations of downward gas–solid flow in smooth
and rough vertical channels are presented. Two-way coupling and inter-particle collisions …

Wind-turbine blade rain erosion damage could be significant if the blades are not protected.
This damage would not typically influence the structural integrity of the blades, but it could …

The hydrodynamic force exerted by a fluid on small isolated rigid spherical particles are
usually well described by the Maxey–Riley (MR) equation. The most time-consuming …
