In the last decade, a few of the early attempts to bring CFD-DEM of fluidized beds beyond
the limits of small, lab-scale units to larger scale systems have become popular. The …

This review presents the numerical algorithms and speed‐up strategies developed to couple
continuum macroscopic simulations and detailed microkinetic models in the context of …

We introduce the open-source package MercuryDPM, which we have been develo** over
the last few years. MercuryDPM is a code for discrete particle simulations. It simulates the …

Multi-spheres and Superquadrics are popular approaches for addressing particle shape
effect in the Discrete Element Method (DEM). This study focuses on the mechanical …

Despite the significant progresses in discrete-based numerical studies of granular materials,
most efforts have been placed in the study of large deformation problems and there are …

The finite element method (FEM) is commonly used for modeling continuum media, while
particle simulation methods like the so-called discrete element method (DEM) are used for …

When a sizable number of people evacuate a room, if the door is not large enough, an
accumulation of pedestrians in front of the exit may take place. This is the cause of emerging …

The ability to model granular systems at the level of individual particles has largely
conduced to the success of the discrete element method (DEM). At the same time, this …

Continuum modelling of fluid-particle multiphase flows is often challenging when the solid
phase becomes dense. In this work, a micro-macro approach combining the microscale …

The discharging in silo presents the characteristics of mass flow in the upper part and funnel
flow in the lower part. Obviously, there is a special position where the flow pattern transition …
