We review studies of levitating droplets over liquid–gas interfaces and dry solid surfaces
with a focus on the physical mechanisms of levitation under different conditions. A …

A review of research on the subject of the vaporization and burning of fuel droplets
configured in a prescribed array is presented, including both classical works and research …

The paper provides an overview of the challenges and progress associated with the task of
numerically predicting particle-laden turbulent flows. The review covers the mathematical …

The cavity dynamics and trajectories of twin spheres vertically entering water side-by-side
are investigated experimentally for different time intervals and several lateral distances at …

For any flow process of mixtures containing dispersed reactive particles, especially highly
concentrated particles, the particle-particle, and fluid-particle interactions are very complex …

The modification of decaying homogeneous turbulence due to its interaction with dispersed
small solid particles (d/η< 1), at a volumetric loading ratio φ v≤ 5× 10− 4, is studied using …

This paper reports the result of direct simulations of fluid–particle motions in two dimensions.
We solve the initial value problem for the sedimentation of circular and elliptical particles in a …

The field of multiphase flows has grown by leaps and bounds in the last thirty years and is
now regarded as a major discipline. Engineering applications, products and processes with …

In the development of meshes for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of
transport in fixed beds of spheres, particle–particle and wall–particle contact points often …

We perform direct numerical simulations of a rigid sphere translating parallel to a flat wall in
an otherwise quiescent ambient fluid. A spectral element method is employed to perform the …
