Fluid flow through packed beds of uniform spheres is studied by a parallel lattice-Boltzmann
(LB) model. The packed beds are obtained from simulations based on discrete element …

We present a novel method for discrete element modeling of non-spherical particles. The
method is based on orientation discretization and pre-calculated databases and can be …

Banana screen is an important innovation in screening process in the past decades to improve
screen capacity. Although, it is increasingly employed in the mineral industry, the control …

In selective laser melting in additive manufacturing, powder spreading significantly affects
the subsequent operating procedure as well as the quality of final products. Compared with …

The development and design of efficient photoelectric catalysts is of great significance for
environmental friendliness. This paper is devoted to finding a new two-dimensional van der …

We present a novel method to identify local structures in disordered systems according to
topological criteria. Its effectiveness is demonstrated in the analysis of the atomic structures in …

This paper presents a numerical study of particle flow and sieving behavior on a vibrating
screen. The particle flow is modeled by means of discrete element method (DEM) at a particle …

Graphene has been widely utilized as a substrate for metal-based catalysts due to its unique
structural and material properties. Despite the numerous strategies proposed for designing …

This paper presents a numerical study on a traditional Lapple cyclone separator with the
inserted cross-shaped metal blades in the vortex finder. The Reynolds stress model (RSM) is …

This paper presents a numerical study of the particle flow and sieving behaviour of a sieve
bend/low head screen combination in coal preparation. The particle flow is simulated by …
