This paper presents a comprehensive review on the development of the modelling of ash
deposition with particle combustion, sticking, rebound and removal behaviors. The …

The dynamics of collapsing bubbles close to a flat solid is investigated with respect to its
potential for removal of surface attached particles. Individual bubbles are created by …

Acoustic cavitation is extensively used for cleaning purposes. However, little is known about
the fundamental aspects of the cleaning process. Our previous electrochemical data …

We elucidate the major mechanism of microparticle removal in the megasonic cleaning
process through the direct visualization experiments. It is revealed that particles sitting on …

With the advancement in technology, contaminant removal has become an important factor
in many industries. This includes semiconductor, medical, marine biology, food processing …

Fouling of heat exchangers in industrial waste heat recovery is a problem which needs to be
solved urgently. In this paper, a numerical investigation on fly-ash deposition and removal …

Laser processing of solid materials has been commonly performed in gas ambient. Having
the workpiece immersed into liquid, having a liquid film on it, or soaking the material with …

The objective of this research is to study the influence of gas flow velocity on particulate
fouling of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) coolers. An experimental setup has been …

The fundamentals of particle-particle adhesion are presented using continuum mechanics
approaches. The models for elastic (Hertz, Huber, Cattaneo, Mindlin and Deresiewicz) …

Laser shockwave cleaning (LSC) has been gaining increasing attention due to its
advantages in decontaminating various micron-and nano-scale contaminated particles on …
