Periodic fluidization of solids in a gas medium can generate structured bubbling patterns. This phenomenon has been successfully reproduced in fluidized bed systems called pulsed-fluidized beds, known for their efficient mixing and…

The process of rapid solidification of a binary mixture is considered in the framework of local nonequilibrium model (LNM) based on the assumption that there is no local equilibrium in solute diffusion in the bulk liquid and at the…

We propose a method for multi-scale hybrid simulations of molecular dynamics (MD) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In the method, usual lattice-mesh based simulations are applied for CFD level, but each lattice is associated with a…

We use three-dimensional particle dynamics simulations, coupled with volume-averaged gas phase hydrodynamics, to study vertically vibrated gas-fluidized beds of fine, cohesive powders. The volume-averaged interstitial gas flow is restricted…

Fluidized beds consist of solid particles suspended in a tube by an ascending fluid. In liquids, it is not rare that particles adhere to each other, decreasing the solid-liquid contact area and the ratio between the tube and grain…

The emergence of new nanoporous materials, based e.g. on 2D materials, offers new avenues for water filtration and energy. There is accordingly a need to investigate the molecular mechanisms at the root of the advanced performances of these…

In this article, we present a new unified finite element method (UFEM) for simulation of general Fluid-Structure interaction (FSI) which has the same generality and robustness as monolithic methods but is significantly more computationally…

In this work, a coarse-graining method previously proposed by the authors in a companion paper based on solving diffusion equations is applied to CFD-DEM simulations, where coarse graining is used to obtain solid volume fraction, particle…

Using three-dimensional Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations, we investigate the erosion dynamics of a cohesive bed composed of wet spherical particles subjected to the shear flow of an overlying non-cohesive granular layer. Cohesion…

We present a computational framework for modeling large-scale particle-laden flows in complex domains with the goal of enabling simulations in medical-image derived patient specific geometries. The framework is based on a volume-filtered…

Understanding the sediment transport in oscillatory flows is essential to the investigation of the overall sediment budget for coastal regions. This overall budget is crucial for the prediction of the morphological change of coastline in…

In this work, discrete element method (DEM) simulations coupled with machine learning are used to study the process of dry impregnation. Our results show that the particle bed contains two regimes. Regime 1 shows smaller inclination angles…

We consider a microfluidic mixer based on hydrodynamic focusing, which is used to initiate the folding process of individual proteins. The folding process is initiated by quickly diluting a local denaturant concentration, and we define…

We introduce a numerical method for investigating interfacial flows coupled with frictional solid particles. Our method combines the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) to model the dynamics of a two-component fluid and the discrete element…

Self-assembly of sub-micron particles suspended in a water film is investigated numerically. The liquid medium is allowed to evaporate leaving only the sub-micron particles. A coupled CFD-DEM approach is used for the simulation of…

This paper presents a novel stabilized mixed material point method (MPM) designed for the unified modeling of free-surface and seepage flow. The unified formulation integrates the Navier-Stokes equation with the Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer…

We study the settling of solid particles within a viscous incompressible fluid contained in a two-dimensional channel, where the mass density of the particles is slightly greater than that of the fluid. The fluid-structure interaction…

Frictional instabilities in fluid saturated granular materials underlie natural hazards, including submarine landslides and earthquake initiation. Experiments show distinct failure behaviors under subaerial and subaqueous conditions due to…
