Gas-solid fluidization technology has been commercialized in many industrial applications
since its implementation in the fluid catalytic cracking process in the early 1940s, however …

This report describes the MFIX (Multiphase Flow with Interphase exchanges) computer
model. MFIX is a general-purpose hydrodynamic model that describes chemical reactions …

A general classification of two-phase flows and a number of possible ways to formulate two-
fluid models are discussed. The two-fluid model is adopted, and a general procedure to …

We show how existing models for the sedimentation of monodisperse flocculated
suspensions and of polydisperse suspensions of rigid spheres differing in size can be …

In the Eulerian approach to model gas–solid fluidized beds closures are required for the
internal momentum transfer in the particulate phase. Firstly, two closure models, one semi …

A distinct element model is used to study the hydrodynamics of large-particle fluidized beds.
The computed bubble rise velocity, voidage variations, averaged particle/particulate and …

A promising method to describe the fluid dynamics of highly loaded particle flows is the
Eulerian representation. In this approach, the solid phase is treated as a continuum …

Based on ideas proposed by Massoudi and Rajagopal (M‐R), we develop a model for blood
using the theory of interacting continua, that is, the mixture theory. We first provide a brief …

A model is presented for the prediction of the fluid dynamic behaviour of binary suspensions
of solid particles fluidized by Newtonian fluids. The equations of motion for the fluid and solid …

By modeling a group of neighboring real particles as a single coarse-grained particle (CGP),
discrete particle method (DPM) is now capable of simulating industrial-scale particle-fluid …
