In the Earth, the flow of crystal-bearing magma is thought to be non-Newtonian and shear
thinning, but the physical origin for this is poorly understood. We use hydro-granular theory …

Key unresolved questions about particle separation mechanisms in suspension-feeding
fishes are identified and discussed, focusing on areas with the potential for substantial future …

Hydrodynamic clogging in planar channels is studied via direct numerical simulation for the
first time, utilising a novel numerical test cell and stochastic methodology with special focus …

Abstract Surface-to-inseam (SIS) pre-drainage has become the most common method to pre-
drain coal mine methane (CMM) for safer mining operations, improve gas recovery in areas …

The behaviour of non-Newtonian fluids, and their interaction with other fluid phases and
components, is of interest in a diverse range of scientific and engineering problems. In the …

Shear is a common phenomenon in practical mineral processes, particularly in pipeline
transportation. When applied to realistic polydisperse systems consisting of particles of …

Low permeability, naturally fractured reservoirs such as coal seam gas (CSG, coalbed
methane or CBM) and shale gas reservoirs generally require well stimulation to achieve …

The transient shear-induced particle migration of frictional non-Brownian suspensions is
studied using particle-resolved simulations. The numerical method–the fictitious domain …

In the literature, two different frameworks exist for describing the rheology of solid/liquid
suspensions:(1) the “viscous” framework in terms of the relative suspension viscosity, η r⁠ …

Settling velocity statistics for dilute, non-Brownian homogeneous suspensions of
polydisperse spheres having a log-normal size distribution are generated from Stokesian …
