In this paper, we develop a resolved coupling model to simulate interaction between two-
phase fluids and irregularly shaped particles by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) …

Cemented granular materials, formed by pouring self-compacting cement into coarse
aggregate, have been widely used in geotechnical engineering. In this study, we developed …

In this paper, a new algorithm to approximate real particles using multiple overlapping
spheres as numerical models for the discrete element method is introduced. First, we …

Additive manufacturing constitutes a promising production technology with potential
application in a broad range of industrial areas. In this type of manufacturing process …

Non-spherical particles can be found in many industrial processes. Unfortunately, scalar
shape parameters are often insufficient to predict their complex behavior. Therefore, this …

Rock block removal is the prevalent physical mechanism for rock erosion and could affect
the stability of dam foundations and spillways. Despite this, understanding of block removal …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the deformation behavior of non-spherical
particles during high-load compaction using the multi-contact discrete element method (MC …

Cohesion and rolling friction play key roles in governing the behavior of soil; however, only a
limited number of studies have been able to assess the simultaneous contributions of these …

Vibrating screens are critical machines used for size classification in mineral processing.
Their proper operation, including accurate vibration movement and slope angle, can provide …

Microstructural parameters such as triple phase boundary (TPB) density, surface area
density, connectivity and tortuosity of different phases strongly influence the performance of …
