DEM modelling and analysis of the mixing characteristics of sphere-cylinder granular mixture in a rotating drum

Mixing structures and characteristics are crucial to the mixing quality of spherical/cylindrical binary granular systems like the biomass-coal mixtures which can affect energy release and carbon emissions. In this work, the mixing of binary spheres/cylinders in a rotating drum was numerically reproduced by using discrete element method (DEM)....

Prediction of acoustic noise and vibration of a 24/16 traction switched reluctance machine

This study presents a numerical modelling approach for the prediction of vibration and acoustic noise for a 24/16 traction switched reluctance machine (SRM). The numerical modelling includes the simulation of electromagnetic force in JMAG, the calculation of natural frequencies and the simulation of vibration and acoustic noise in ACTRAN....

Numerical Study of the Flow Around an Undersized Ball Pig in a Horizontal Pipe

Pipeline networks are extensively used in the oil and gas industry to transport fluids under multiphase flow conditions from the wells to the production platforms or plants. Over time, the flow rate of the production fluid decreases as the reservoir pressure decreases. When the flow rate decreases to below a certain value, unstable flow with...
