When a severe accident occurs in a nuclear reactor, fuel–coolant interaction (FCI) may occur
and cause steam explosion. Energetic FCI or steam explosion will threaten the integrity of …

Gas cyclones are common device in various industries to separate solid particles and/or
droplets from gas streams. Nonetheless, the mathematical modelling of gas cyclone has …

In this work, the gas-solid swirling flow characteristics of coaxial jets in an industrial-scale
annular pipe with a helical swirler is numerically simulated via the CFD-DEM. After …

The core may melt down and a debris bed with specific shape may be formed on the lower
head of Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV). The solid-to-solid collision has not been concerned …

The work investigates the applicability of the unresolved Computational Fluid Dynamics and
Discrete Element Method (CFDDEM) technique based on empirical equations for fluid …

A new type of nonpowered airflow dust removal device was designed and manufactured.
The dust control mechanism was studied through numerical simulation and experimental …

Dust pollution related to the discharge of hoppers has drawn the attention from industries
dealing with bulk solids handling. This paper presents an experimental setup to measure the …

The bulk materials loading and unloading process is common in industrial plants. In order to
understand the dust generation mechanism, a physical model of the particles flow impacting …

Solid contamination existing as solid particles in power fluid transmission systems may lead
to transmission performance reduction, system failures, and component damage. The …

Air entrainment by a flow of loose material is the primary cause of dust releases during
handling of such materials. Computing the flow rate of air ejected by the material is a …
