There are many interesting physical processes which involve the generation of high density plasmas in large volumes. However, when modeling these systems numerically, the large densities and volumes present a significant computational…
We present a new particle-based (discrete element) numerical method for the simulation of granular dynamics, with application to motions of particles on small solar system body and planetary surfaces. The method employs the parallel N-body…
The simulation of viscoelastic time-evolution problems described by a large number of internal variables and with a large spectrum of relaxation times requires high computational resources for their resolution. Furthermore, the internal…
Deformable elastic bodies in viscous and viscoelastic media constitute a large portion of synthetic and biological complex fluids. We present a parallelized 3D-simulation methodology which fully resolves the momentum balance in the solid…
We have studied experimentally particle suspension when injecting a gas at the bottom of an immersed granular layer confined in a Hele-Shaw cell. This work focuses on the dynamics of particles slightly denser than the surrounding fluid. The…
We study the numerical behaviour of a particle method for gradient flows involving linear and nonlinear diffusion. This method relies on the discretisation of the energy via non-overlapping balls centred at the particles. The resulting…
In this study, we investigate the sedimentation of prolate spheroids in a quiescent fluid by means of the particle-resolved direct numerical simulation. With the increase of the particle volume fraction $\phi$ from $0.1\%$ to $10\%$, we…
Incompressibility is a fundamental condition in most fluid models. Accumulation of simulation errors violates it and causes volume loss. Past work suggested correction methods to battle it. These methods, however, are imperfect and in some…
Numerical simulation of numerous mm/cm-sized particles embedded in a gaseous disk has become an important tool in the study of planet formation and in understanding the dust distribution in observed protoplanetary disks. However, the mutual…
We study the sedimentation of finite-size inertial particles in a Rayleigh-Taylor-like setup using state-of-the-art direct numerical simulations. The falling particles are observed to produce two distinct regions: a leading mixing layer…
In this article, we investigate the inertial settling of an arbitrarily oriented cylinder settling under gravity. We focus on two regimes: the very short-time and long-time dynamic. By using the generalized Kirchhoff equations to describe…
Based on the particle-in-cell (PIC) plasma simulation method, the speed-limited PIC (SLPIC) method delivers faster kinetic plasma simulation in cases where the particle distributions evolve slowly compared with the maximum stable PIC…
Variational multiscale (VMS) methods offer a robust framework for handling under-resolved flow scales without resorting to problem-specific turbulence models. Here, we propose and assess a dynamic, term-by-term VMS stabilized formulation…
We propose here a model and a numerical scheme to compute the motion of rigid particles interacting through the lubrication force. In the case of a particle approaching a plane, we propose an algorithm and prove its convergence towards the…
We present a generalized hydrodynamic stability theory for interacting particles in polydisperse particle-laden flows. The addition of dispersed particulate matter to a clean flow can either stabilize or destabilize the flow, depending on…
The tasks of identifying separation structures and clusters in flow data are fundamental to flow visualization. Significant work has been devoted to these tasks in flow represented by vector fields, but there are unique challenges in…
Slug flows are a typical intermittent two-phase flow pattern that can occur in submarine pipelines connecting the wells to the production facility and that is known to cause undesired consequences. In this context, computational fluid…
The dynamics of dense finite-size particles in vertical channel flows of Newtonian and viscoelastic carrier fluids are examined using particle resolved simulations. Comparison to neutrally buoyant particles in the same configuration…
We simulate the granulation process of solid spherical particles in the presence of a viscous liquid in a horizontal rotating drum by using molecular dynamics simulations in three dimensions. The numerical approach accounts for the cohesive…
Vesicle suspensions appear in many biological and industrial applications. These suspensions are characterized by rich and complex dynamics of vesicles due to their interaction with the bulk fluid, and their large deformations and nonlinear…
