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 …

Solid dosage forms require the addition of different types of excipients such as flowability,
compressibility, disintegration, solubility, stability and other physical and chemical properties …

Abstract A coupled CFD-DEM and Monte Carlo approach was developed to investigate
coating properties in a Wurster fluidized bed by considering gas flow, particle motion, droplet …

Understanding droplet-particle collisions is critical for regulating spray coating processes.
Existing studies mainly focused on collision between a single component droplet and a …

The effective implementation of Quality by Design (QbD) for wet granulation requires
quantitative models for design and scaling of granulators. This paper reviews that current …

Food powders such as maltodextrin are often produced in agglomerate form in spray
fluidized beds in order to enhance their user properties. These agglomerates mostly have …

Acoustic agglomeration is an efficient pretreatment technology for industrial flue gases,
which can significantly improve their removal efficiency of conventional dust filters that …

For systems of particles with irregular shapes, the collisions between particles and between
particles and walls are highly complex and strongly related to the contact geometry. In this …

The internal structure of granules produced by spray fluidized bed agglomeration was
investigated by means of X-ray micro-computer-tomography. The X-ray tomography delivers …

An approach that combines computational fluid dynamics with the discrete element method
is applied to investigate the residence time and collision velocity in different processing …
