Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applies numerical methods to solve transport
phenomena problems. These include, for example, problems related to fluid flow comprising …

This work investigates the breakup dynamics of solid agglomerates in a polymer
compounding operation, by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations together …

A method for the simulation of aggregation and breakup processes in colloidal particle
suspensions is presented. The method combines a Monte Carlo algorithm to determine, on …

Mayonnaise is a stable liquid–liquid emulsion with high content of the dispersed oil phase.
In the last step of its production, the emulsion is fluxed into a high-shear mixer, where the oil …

This paper investigates numerically the shear-induced aggregation of mixed populations of
colloidal particles leading to the formation of clusters. Suspensions with different amounts of …

Colloidal suspension spray drying is often used as a route to produce micrometric
agglomerates. The morphology and re-dispersion behavior of such agglomerates under …

In recent years, targeted drug delivery systems have been regarded as a promising solution
to enhance the efficiency of treatments against clots in blood vessels. In this context, shear …

Understanding of generation, extent and location of thermomechanical stress in small-scale
(< 3 g) ram and twin-screw melt-extrusion is crucial for mechanistic correlations to the …

The present study completes the development of a model for predicting the effect of wall
impacts on agglomerates in turbulent flows. Relying on an Euler-Lagrange hard-sphere …

The breakup of inertial, solid aggregates in an incompressible, homogeneous and isotropic
three-dimensional turbulent flow is studied by means of a direct numerical simulation, and …
