approach which has attracted significant attention in the last two decades. Compared with …

Understanding and modelling the dynamic behaviour of particulate systems has been a
major research focus worldwide for many years. Discrete particle simulation plays an …

The ability to model comminution techniques has been key in the mineral processing
industry and other industries where size reduction of rocks is a key focus. With the need for …

First, a meshless simulation method is presented for multiphase fluid–particle flows with a
two-way coupled Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) for the fluid and the Discrete …

Gas cyclones are common device in various industries to separate solid particles and/or
droplets from gas streams. Nonetheless, the mathematical modelling of gas cyclone has …

Particle-fluid flows with free-surfaces are commonly encountered in many industrial
processes, such as wet ball milling, slurry transport and mixing. Accurate prediction of …

In the early 1990s the discrete element method (DEM) was used for the first time to simulate
media motion in tumbling mills. Although it has been over a quarter of a century since this …

High computational cost presents a significant barrier to the general application of coupled
computational fluid dynamics and discrete element method (CFD-DEM) simulations …

Large banana screens with multiple decks are used extensively in the process separation of
many valuable export commodities. They are high capacity vibrating screens with a curved …

In comminution circuits, grinding is the most energy-intensive process. Although significant
work was focused on the charge particle dynamics via only DEM in the past, but lifter effects …
