Direct numerical simulation results for gas flow through dynamic suspensions of spherical
particles is reported. The simulations are performed using an immersed boundary method …

Drag force is essential to dense flows, but the accurate and robust drag model is still an
open issue. Direct numerical simulations of a shallow and a deep bubbling bed of moving …

The sharp interface immersed boundary method (IBM) is a powerful tool to simulate the flow

A sharp interface implicit immersed boundary method is developed and used for direct
numerical simulations of the flow through open‐cell solid foams with a cellular structure. The …

Simulations with an iterative immersed boundary method (IBM) are performed to predict the
drag force for gas–solid flows at intermediate Reynolds number (Re). A methodology is …

Gas–liquid–solid three phase flows are encountered in for example the Fischer–Tropsch
process for the production of synthetic fuels in bubble slurry columns. To predict the …
