Granular matter is ubiquitous in nature and is present in diverse forms in important
engineering, industrial and natural processes. Particle-based computational modelling has …

Inkjet printing is the most widespread technological application of microfluidics. It is
characterized by its high drop productivity, small volumes, and extreme reproducibility. This …

Fluid dynamics simulations with the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) are very memory
intensive. Alongside reduction in memory footprint, significant performance benefits can be …

Proppant distribution in rough rock fractures is a key factor in the evaluation of the
effectiveness of a hydraulic fracturing operation. This paper focuses on the study of how …

Multiphase chemical reactors with characteristic multiscale structures are intrinsically
discrete at the elemental scale. However, due to the lack of multiscale models and the …

Abstract A Lagrangian-based SPH-DEM coupling model is proposed to study fluid–solid
interaction (FSI) problems with free-surface flow. In this model, SPH uses an incompressible …

Abstract At finite Reynolds numbers, $ Re $, particles migrate across laminar flow
streamlines to their equilibrium positions in microchannels. This migration is attributed to a …

This paper presents novel correlations to predict the drag, lift, and torque coefficients of axi-
symmetric non-spherical rod-like particles in a wall-bounded linear shear flow. The particle …

Background Swallowing is a complex physiological process transporting food from the
mouth into the esophagus. Understanding how food properties condition flow, ease of …

Piezoelectric inkjet printing is extensively applied in additive manufacturing due to its cost-
effectiveness, high precision, and the ability to efficiently print a wide range of materials …
