In recent years, prominent spacefaring nations have redirected their attention towards the
Moon as a potential avenue for economic prospects and as a pivotal waypoint for extended …

A novel, two-way coupled, dusty-gas flow model has been developed in the direct simulation
Monte Carlo (DSMC) framework and employed for the dust-dispersion study on lunar …

Although the mobility or transport parameters, such as lift drag and pitching moments for
regular-shaped particulates, are widely studied, the mobility of irregular fractal-like …

In the present work, a numerical framework is developed for simulating gas-solid flows
associated with interaction of a rocket plume on a planetary surface. For this investigation, a …

The capability to simulate a two-way coupled interaction between a rarefied gas and an
arbitrary-shaped colloidal particle is important for many practical applications, such as …

The acceleration and heating of particles in gas–particle flows represents a general
question in fluid mechanics and has been widely studied since the 1920s. However, studies …

Gas–solid coupling systems operating at low pressure or the micro/nanoscale generally
exist in nature and industrial manufacture. Although the gas-scattering model has been …

A new set of aerodynamic correlations are proposed for an ellipsoidal particle in the free
molecular regime by carrying out flow simulations using the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo …

In general, the total kinetic energy in a multicomponent granular gas of inelastic and rough
hard spheres is unequally partitioned among the different degrees of freedom. On the other …

The existence of nanosized pore systems differentiates isotopic gas transport inside a shale
matrix from conventional continuum flow. In this study, a novel self-similarity mathematical …
