Gas-solid fluidization technology has been commercialized in many industrial applications
since its implementation in the fluid catalytic cracking process in the early 1940s, however …

Gas-solid flows in nature and industrial applications are characterized by multiscale and
nonlinear interactions that manifest as rich flow physics and pose unique modeling …

The Multiphase Flow Handbook, Second Edition is a thoroughly updated and reorganized
revision of the late Clayton Crowe's work, and provides a detailed look at the basic concepts …

Saturn's rings consist of a huge number of water ice particles, with a tiny addition of rocky
material. They form a flat disk, as the result of an interplay of angular momentum …

A hydrodynamic description for an s-component mixture of inelastic, smooth hard disks (two
dimensions) or spheres (three dimensions) is derived based on the revised Enskog theory …

The Enskog kinetic theory is used as a starting point to model a suspension of solid particles
in a viscous gas. Unlike previous efforts for similar suspensions, the gas-phase contribution …

Abstract The Energy Minimization Multi-Scale (EMMS) drag model, using Sauter mean
particle diameter to represent real particle size distribution, has proven to be effective in …

The kinetic energy of a force-free granular gas decays monotonously due to inelastic
collisions of the particles. For a homogeneous granular gas of identical particles, the …

Predictive device-level computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of gas–solid flow is
dependent on accurate models for unclosed terms that appear in the averaged equations for …

The Enskog kinetic theory is applied to compute the mean square displacement of impurities
or intruders (modeled as smooth inelastic hard spheres) immersed in a granular gas of …
