We review advances that have been made in the rheology of concentrated emulsions and
nanoemulsions, which can serve as model soft materials that have highly tunable …

Independent from their intended purpose, the understanding of structural characteristics of
random packings of particles having defined shapes is important to understand and optimize …

A numerical investigation of particle shape effects on fabric of granular packing is carried out
using the three dimensional discrete element method with a superellipsoid model. A broad …

The densest amorphous packing of rigid particles is known as random close packing. It has
long been appreciated that higher densities are achieved by using collections of particles …

We introduce the deformable particle (DP) model for cells, foams, emulsions, and other soft
particulate materials, which adds to the benefits and eliminates deficiencies of existing …

Studies of random close packing of spheres have advanced our knowledge about the
structure of systems such as liquids, glasses, emulsions, granular media, and amorphous …

Packing problems are ubiquitous,, ranging from oil extraction through porous rocks to grain
storage in silos and the compaction of pharmaceutical powders into tablets. At a given …

Particle shape can affect the flow and thermal behavior significantly in particle–fluid flow
systems. In this work, the combined approach of discrete element method (DEM) and …

Several acquisitions of x-ray microtomography have been performed on a beads packing
while it compacts under vertical vibrations. An image analysis allows to study the evolution …

Effective thermal conductivity (ETC) is one of the most important thermal properties of
packed granular materials, and is affected significantly by particle properties. In this work …
