The problem of accretion of small particles by a sphere embedded in a mean flow is studied in the case where the particles undergo inelastic collisions with the solid object. The collision efficiency, which gives the flux of particles…
We study the surface growth generated by the random deposition of particles of different sizes. A model is proposed where the particles are aggregated on an initially flat surface, giving rise to a rough interface and a porous bulk. By…
Mass transport of impurities immersed in a confined quasi-two-dimensional moderately dense granular gas of inelastic hard spheres is studied. The effect of the confinement on granular particles is modeled through a collisional model (the…
The results of Direct Numerical Simulations of the oscillatory flow over a cohesionless bed of spherical particles, mimicking sediment grains, are described. The flow around the sediment particles is explicitly computed by using the…
We investigate the mechanisms by which inertial solid particles modulate turbulence and alter the fluid mass transport in dense turbulent liquid-solid flows. To this end, we perform Euler-Lagrange simulations at friction Reynolds number…
We investigate the mechanisms by which inertial particles dispersed at semi-dilute conditions cause significant drag-reduction in a turbulent channel flow at $\mathrm{Re}_\tau = 180$. We consider a series of four-way coupled Euler-Lagrange…
Environmental pollutants are a source for reliability issues across data center and telecommunications equipment. A primary driver of this is the transport and deposition of particle matter (PM$_{2.5}$, PM$_{10}$) on printed circuit boards,…
In laboratory experiments, spherical 1 mm-wide glass and basalt particles are heated, and the hot particles collide at about 1m/s with a flat glass target that is at room temperature. When the particles are heated below 900 K, the…
We perform large-scale molecular dynamics simulations to study heated granular fluids in three dimensions. Granular particles dissipate their kinetic energy due to solid frictional interaction with other particles. The velocity of each…
Inelastic collisions occur among regolith particles, such as those in the ejecta curtain from a crater, and may cause clustering or agglomeration of particles and thus produce discrete patterns of ejecta deposits around a crater. Previous…
We experimentally investigate the behaviour of instantaneous localised releases of heavy particles falling as turbulent clouds in quiescent water, both with and without background rotation. We present the results of 514 systematic…
Surface roughness is a major contributor to performance degradation in gas turbine engines. The fan and the compressor, as the first components in the engine's air path, are especially vulnerable to the effects of surface roughness. Debris…
Progress in roughness research, mapping any given roughness geometry to its fluid dynamic behaviour, has been hampered by the lack of accurate and direct measurements of skin-friction drag, especially in open systems. The Taylor--Couette…
Development of algorithms and growth of computational resources in the past decades have enabled simulations of sediment transport processes with unprecedented fidelities. The Computational Fluid Dynamics--Discrete Element Method (CFD--DEM)…
Momentum deposition by radiation pressure from young, massive stars may help to destroy molecular clouds and unbind stellar clusters by driving large-scale outflows. We extend our previous numerical radiation hydrodynamic study of…
We study the intrinsic friction of monolayers adsorbed on solid surfaces from a gas phase or vapor. Within the framework of the Langmuir model of delocalized adsorption, we calculate the resistance offered by the mobile adsorbate's…
We describe an educational simulation of some effects within the gas of hard spheres. The focus of the presented simulation is on the comprehension of random character of the velocity of molecules in the gas and of the energy at fixed…
Kinetics of dislocations is studied by means of computer simulation during intensive plastic deformation. The dynamical effect in the form of soliton-like wave of sharply disrupted interparticle bonds is observed. Along with it, micropores…
Dust explosions are among the most hazardous accidents affecting industrial facilities processing particulate solids. Describing the severity parameters of dust clouds is critical to the safety management and risk assessment of dust…
The settling process and wall impact of large spherical particles in a stagnant, highly viscous fluid has been observed by means of high-speed shadow imaging. The particles included in this study vary in size and material properties: steel,…
