Sediment transport simulations face the challenge of accounting for vastly different scales in
space and time that cannot be tackled by a unifying approach. Instead, processes are …

The environmental setting of the Dead Sea combines several aspects whose interplay
creates flow phenomena and transport processes that cannot be observed anywhere else …

In this work, a semi-resolved computational fluid dynamics-discrete element method is
employed to study the effects of fluid–particle and particle–particle/wall interactions on …

The effects of fluid–particle and particle–particle interactions on the kinematic waves and
particle dynamics in a vertical pipe with continuous upward fluid flow are investigated. The …

Environmental fluid mechanics underlies a wealth of natural, industrial, and, by extension,
societal challenges. In the coming decades, as we strive towards a more sustainable planet …

Purpose Flocculated cohesive suspended sediments (flocs) play an important role in all
aquatic environments, facilitating the transport and deposition of sediment and associated …

Vertical pipe hydraulic conveying is currently considered the most promising method for
deep-sea mining. The conveying velocity at the inlet of the vertical pipe is often close to a …

The effects of the particle collision model in a direct-forcing fictitious domain method on the
fluid and particle statistics of a fully developed turbulent channel flow laden with finite-size …

Due to their simple geometric configuration and involved rich physics, rotating drums have
been widely used to elaborate granular flow dynamics, which is of significant importance in …

We present a numerical study analysing the breakup of a single cohesive particle aggregate
in turbulence. Solid particles with diameters smaller than the Kolmogorov length scale (. A …
