This review article focuses on the modeling of complex granular flows employing the
discrete element method (DEM) approach. The specific topic discussed is the application of …

The present work deals with the main mechanisms involved in caking of amorphous
powders and its theoretical background. After a brief outline of the general basics, the review …

This paper presents a numerical study based on the discrete element method (DEM) to
investigate the transverse mixing of wet particles in a rotating drum. The effects of the liquid …

A numerical model based on the discrete element method was developed to simulate the
wet particle flow in a rotating drum. The model explicitly considered the capillary force …

Liquid induced cohesion has a significant effect on the flow characteristics of wet granular
assemblies. The strength of capillary forces between the particles can be continuously tuned …

Due to their simple geometric configuration and involved rich physics, rotating drums have
been widely used to elaborate granular flow dynamics, which is of significant importance in …

This study proposes a new sample-independent mixing index, termed the Coefficient of
Blending Performance (CBP), for monitoring the formation of undesired API (Active …

This paper experimentally investigates the wet non-spherical granular segregation in a
quasi-2D rotating drum. The granular mixtures consisted of spherical POM beads and non …

Particulate materials exhibit rich dynamic behaviour and have been studied extensively in
the recent decades. Underpinning this behaviour are the interactions between particles …

Slow-moving arctic soils commonly organize into striking large-scale spatial patterns called
solifluction terraces and lobes. Although these features impact hillslope stability, carbon …
