Equilibrium position, as well as dynamic patterns of suspended particles, plays a dominant
role in particle manipulation of segregation, transporting, or sorting. The current paper aims …

This paper numerically investigates the effect of pulsating flow on the settling dynamics of
rigid circular particles. This is an interdisciplinary subject and spans several areas ranging …

The behaviours of non-magnetic particles inside a ferrofluid have a significant effect on the
performance of ferrofluid-based biosensors, such as antibody detection. The present work …

Automated manipulation of small particles using external (eg, magnetic, electric and
acoustic) fields has been an emerging technique widely used in different areas. The …

The settling process of marine microplastics (MPs) is crucial research concerning the
transport and movement of MPs. The settling processes of MP fibers that possess a …

Most reacting and two-phase flows of practical interest are turbulent but take place at low
Mach numbers or under incompressible conditions. In order to investigate the properties of …

In the current work the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is applied to investigate heat transfer
phenomena in particulate flows. Different cases involving both two-and three-dimensional …

An alternative approach to simulating arbitrarily shaped particles submersed in viscous fluid
in two dimensions is proposed, obtained by adapting the velocity parameter of the …

A four-way coupling CFD-DEM model is originally developed in this work to investigate the
sedimentation of adhesive particles in viscous fluids. In this model, the particles are traced …
