Fluid–solid systems play a major role in a wide variety of industries, from pharmaceutical
and consumer goods to chemical plants and energy generation. Along with this variety of …

This article reviews recent developments in computational modeling of dry powder inhalers
(DPIs). DPIs deliver drug formulations (sometimes blended with larger carrier particles) to a …

Fluidized gas–particle systems are inherently unstable and they manifest structures on a
wide range of length and time scales. In this article we present for the first time in the …

Although viscous solid–liquid mixing plays a key role in the industry, the vast majority of the
literature on the mixing of suspensions is centered around the turbulent regime of operation …

Earth surface flows in nature, like debris flows and rock avalanches, have threatened
people's safety and infrastructure during past decades. Though grain size distribution (GSD) …

Multiphase flows in porous and granular media are widely encountered in many research
and engineering fields. Due to the complexity and limited accessibility of real facilities, it can …

CFD‐DEM combines computational fluid dynamics (CFD), which solves the equation of
motion of gas or liquids, with the discrete element method (DEM), a simulation technique …

The free-surface flows with particles are widely found in chemical engineering, and
numerical modeling is a strong computing tool for in-depth understanding of the local and …

In comminution circuits, grinding is the most energy-intensive process. Although significant
work was focused on the charge particle dynamics via only DEM in the past, but lifter effects …

Solid particle distribution determines the reactor internal phases placement and the contact
mode between catalyst particles and the liquid phase, thus plays a key role in dictating the …
