Bag filters are commonly used to remove fine particulate matter from industrial flue gases.
Rapid formation of dense dust cakes is a major issue in bag filters as it necessitates more …

Clathrate hydrate particle cohesion dominates agglomeration of hydrate particles in gas/oil
pipelines, and the existence of a capillary bridge between hydrate particles was assumed to …

It remains a great challenge to understand the hydrates involved in phenomena in practical
oil and gas systems. The adhesion forces between hydrate particles, between hydrate …

The transition of a liquid bridge profile from convex to concave and the associated capillary
forces are experimentally studied via particle-particle and particle-plane pairs. The results …

In this study, a numerical method is developed to perform the direct numerical simulation
(DNS) of gas-solid-liquid flows involving capillary effects. The volume-of-fluid method …

Comprehension of wet particle behavior is of great importance in science and engineering.
In the past two decades, modeling and simulation for wet particles have been extensively …

This paper presents a simple and robust model to describe the wet adhesion of the AFM tip
and substrate joined by a liquid bridge. The effects of contact angles, wetting circle radius …

The modeling of wet granular materials is an important research topic in chemical
engineering. This study focuses on the numerical model for the capillary liquid bridge force …

Small solid particles can be attached to an air–liquid interface due to the pulling of surface
tension. We investigate experimentally under which conditions a spherical solid particle can …
