A desire to optimise the production and performance of nanoparticle structured materials
has driven the development of increasingly accurate and fundamental models that describe …

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 …

Particle properties play a key role in determining the flowability of cohesive fine powders
and consequently the quality of parts fabricated by additive manufacturing. However, how …

This paper presents a novel computational-geometry-based approach to generating random
packing of complex-shaped 3D particles with quantitatively controlled sizes and shapes for …

In this work, the validity of the Scaled-Up Particle (SUP) model, which is a novel coarse grain
model for Discrete Element Method (DEM), is examined to simulate a flow of non-spherical …

Many coarse grain models and scaling laws for Discrete Element Method (DEM) have been
reported, but very few properly discussed the scaling laws of inter-particle torques. The …

Computational fluid dynamics combined with discrete element method (CFD–DEM) is widely
adopted to study particle–fluid multiphase systems. However, due to the global dynamical …

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

In recent years, there has been increased focus on the calibration of discrete element
method (DEM) models to gain improved confidence in the simulation predictions. However …

The coating of tablets to prevent product degradation or control dissolution is a typical
process in its production. Coating uniformity is critical for the quality of final product and …
