Gas-solid fluidized beds have drawn the attention of engineers and researchers as an
effective technology for a large variety of applications, and numerical simulations can play …

The coupling between fluid and granular materials is commonly encountered in nature and
engineering practice. Moreover, the shape of granular materials in practical applications is …

Dense gas-solid reacting flow is practised in many industrial processes where the particle
number may be huge and cannot be modelled using the conventional CFD-DEM approach …

Pneumatic conveying is an important operation used in many industries for the
transportation of granular materials from one place to another. In recent years, many efforts …

In the last decade, a few of the early attempts to bring CFD-DEM of fluidized beds beyond
the limits of small, lab-scale units to larger scale systems have become popular. The …

This paper presents a numerical study of hydraulic conveying of coarse solid particles by
means of the combined approach of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for the liquid …

With the growth of available computational resource, CFD–DEM (computational fluid
dynamics–discrete element method) becomes an increasingly promising and feasible …

Abstract A semi-resolved CFD-DEM model is proposed to model the seepage-induced fine
particle migration within the gap-graded soils consisting of fine and coarse particles. In this …

In this work, based on the unresolved CFD-DEM framework, a smoothed volume distribution
model (SVDM) is developed to simulate the migration of fines in suspension flow through a …

The coupling of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and discrete element method (DEM)
has become an important method for studying dense fluidized beds. Since DEM can track …
