Research efforts related to dry particulates in sliding contacts are reviewed. In the tribology
community, there are primarily two types of dry particulate lubricants that are studied …

Dry particle coating is used to create new-generation materials by combining different
powders having different physical and chemical properties to form composites, which show …

With rapid advancements in computer hardware and numerical algorithms, computational
fluid dynamics (CFD) has been increasingly employed as a useful tool for investigating the …

Segregation of particulate mixtures is a problem of great consequence in industries involved
with the handling and processing of granular materials in which homogeneity is generally …

The method of molecular dynamics simulation is applied in order to study the behavior of
liquid Argon flow within oscillatory Couette flows, in both smooth and rough nanochannels …

We computationally investigate the dependence of the rheology of dense sheared granular
mixtures on their particle size distribution. We consider the simplest case of a binary mixture …

A numerical program has been developed to simulate an assembly of inelastic, frictional
hard spheres inside a control volume undergoing a steady‐state rapid Couette flow induced …

Granular shear flows are studied in a gravity-free Couette geometry using a two-dimensional
discrete element computer simulation. Upper and lower bounding walls are flat and frictional …

The discrete element method is used to investigate adhesive particle mixing in a system that
includes large carrier particles and fine particle agglomerates in a Couette mixer. The …

Liquid lubricants break down at extreme temperatures and promote stiction in micro-
/nanoscale environments. Consequently, using flows of solid granular particles as a “dry” …
