In this work, a semi-resolved computational fluid dynamics-discrete element method is
employed to study the effects of fluid–particle and particle–particle/wall interactions on …

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 …

This paper adopts an optimized Euler–Lagrange method proposed in our previous work to
study the characteristics and formation mechanisms of layer inversion in binary liquid–solid …

One of the critical steps in the root crop harvesting process is screening tubers from soil.
However, low screening efficiency seriously hinders the rapid development of the root crop …

This paper investigates experimentally and numerically the dynamics of solid particles
during the layer inversion of binary solid-liquid fluidized beds in narrow tubes. Layer …

Solid-liquid fluidized beds of binary mixtures are widely used in many industries. Particle
segregation may occur as particles can differ in size, density, or shape. Extensive studies …

Multi-component liquid-fluidized beds are encountered in a variety of industrial processes.
Often, segregation severely affects the performance of the process unit. Unfortunately, size …

Teeter bed separator (TBS) plays an important role in coal and mineral fines beneficiation. It
is believed that a favorable dense concentrated bed is the key to ensuring the effective …

Teeter Bed Separators (TBS) are liquid–solid fluidized beds that are widely used in
separation of coarse particles in coal mining industry. The coal particles settle in the self …

Multifluid model (MFM) simulations have been carried out on liquid–solid fluidized beds
(LSFB) consisting of binary and higher‐order polydisperse particle mixtures. The role of …
