Surface tension and rheology: Calibrating the surface tension in SPH independently of the fluid rheology

Spray drying operations can be used to turn products, like for example milk or yeast extract, into powders, extending their shelf life. The properties of those powders (e.g. density or particle size) after spray drying operations depend severely on the dynamics of droplet collisions inside the spray. Currently, costly and wasteful production...

Modelling of Grain Sorting Mechanisms in the Nearshore Area for Natural and Nourished Beaches

In this study a modelling approach was investigated that takes into account the effect of short wave grouping on long wave motions, calculating sediment transport and morphology with multiple fractions and a layered bed stratigraphy. After extensive testing and validating this model using data collected in a wave flume in Hannover this model was...

Hydrodynamic modelling of a mangrove system in Singapore

Modelling tidal dynamics in mangrove systems is of great use in studying effects of vegetation on flow and may prove to be a useful tool to support the management of mangrove areas. Since there are lots of limitations on obtaining field data inside mangrove forests, numerical models are indispensable to analyse the effects of changes in mangrove...
