Flows of solid particles are known to exhibit a clustering instability—dynamic microstructures
characterized by a dense region of highly concentrated particles surrounded by a dilute …

In this work the quantitative and qualitative ability of a kinetic-theory-based two-fluid model
(KT-TFM) is assessed in a state of fully periodic sedimentation (fluidization), with a focus on …

Direct numerical simulations with a second-order immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann
method are used to investigate the effect of particle fluctuation on flows in fixed random …

The time evolution of a homogeneous bidisperse granular suspension is studied in the
context of the Enskog kinetic equation. The influence of the surrounding viscous gas on the …

Heat transfer in gas-solid flows has been numerically investigated via an immersed
boundary-thermal lattice Boltzmann method. Stationary random assemblies of spheres are …

The transport coefficients of a dilute gas of inelastic hard spheres immersed in a gas of
elastic hard spheres (molecular gas) are determined. We assume that the number density of …

Applications of mathematical heat transfer and fluid flow models in engineering and
medicine Abram S. Dorfman, University of Michigan, USA Engineering and medical …

Non-Newtonian transport properties of a dilute gas of inelastic hard spheres immersed in a
molecular gas are determined. We assume that the granular gas is sufficiently rarefied, and …

The Enskog kinetic theory for moderately dense granular suspensions is considered as a
model to determine the Navier–Stokes transport coefficients. The influence of the interstitial …

The linear hydrodynamic stability of a model for confined quasi-two-dimensional granular
gases is analyzed. The system exhibits homogeneous hydrodynamics, ie, there are …
