Right from the early days of the process industries, continuous efforts have been made to
develop and improve measures for prevention and mitigation of dust explosions in these …

The traditional defence against propagating gas explosions is the application of dry rock
dust, but not much quantitative study on explosion suppression of rock dust has been made …

Dust Explosion Simulation Code (DESC) was a project supported by the European
Commission under the Fifth Framework Programme. The main purpose of the project was to …

In order to study the patterns for local gas explosion inducing deposited dust combustion,
the process of dust kicking-up and participating in gas explosion is numerically simulated …

In this study a numerical approach to investigate the dust release from bulk solid during
handling is presented. The modelling framework relies on the Discrete Element Method …

A unified framework for particulate two-phase flow is presented with a wide range of solid
particle concentration from dilute to dense limit. The two-phase flow is simulated by two …

Macroscale models of shock–particle interactions require closure terms for unresolved solid–
fluid momentum and energy transfer. These comprise the effects of mean as well as …

To comprehensively study the theoretical system of the pneumatic conveying of a material,
the first step should be to study its conveying characteristics. Here, we develop a CFD-DEM …

Fluid flows with cohesive particles are present in oil industry (eg natural gas/oil with
hydrates, wax or asphaltenes), medicine (eg blood cells), nano-and ferro-fluidic applications …

While there are plenty of experimental studies pertaining to the dust generation from and
dustiness of powders, few of them aim at reaching a theoretical understanding of the …
