Rotational effects are commonly neglected when considering the dynamics of freely rising or
settling isotropic particles. Here, we demonstrate that particle rotations play an important role …

Three phase flows are omnipresent in industrial as well as natural configurations.
Understanding the behaviour of solid particles interacting with liquid–air flows can be of …

The interaction dynamics between particles and bubbles in turbulent flow fields are crucial
for optimizing multiphase flow systems. In this work, direct numerical simulation is combined …

This paper presents a numerical method to study the collision process of mineral particles
and air bubbles in flotation cells. A bubble‐resolved and particle‐modelled direct numerical …

Flotation is one of the key methods to recover fine minerals, yet significant challenges persist
in achieving effective recovery and separation of fine minerals. In this study, a novel two …

We study the effect of turbulence on collisions between a finite-size bubble and small inertial
particles based on interface-resolved simulations. Our results show that the interaction with …

Bubble-particle collisions in turbulence are key to the froth flotation process that is employed
industrially on a vast scale to separate hydrophobic from hydrophilic materials. In our …

This manuscript sums up work carried out during a thesis at the MFEE department of EDF
R&D on liquid-gas flows laden with dispersed particles under the supervision of Olivier …

The collisions between particles and bubbles are decisive for the performance of flotation
processes. In this work the results of gravity-driven, bubble-resolved, and particle-modelled …

Analytical models to predict particle-bubble collision frequencies are a key ingredient in the
simulation of industrial flotation processes. Based on a review of existing collision models …
