Nijssen, Tim M.J. (author), Ottens, M. (author), Padding, J.T. (author)Lubrication forces play a major role in the behaviour of fluid–solid systems, where they affect the collisions between particles. Current implementations of lubrication forces in unresolved simulations often suffer from shortcomings, such as neglecting parts of the physics or relying on arbitrarily defined parameters. In this short...journal article 2023

Moghaddam, E.M.C. (author), Foumeny, E.A. (author), Stankiewicz, A.I. (author), Padding, J.T. (author)This paper investigates the validity of azimuthal averaging of 3D temperature fields in the analysis of lateral heat transfer in dense particle packings. This is conducted by synthetic generation of 3D packing surrogates of spheres, cylinders and Raschig rings with tube-to-pellet diameter ratio, 3 < N < 6, using an in-house Rigid Body...journal article 2021

Mohammadzadeh Moghaddam, E. (author), Foumeny, Esmail A. (author), Stankiewicz, A.I. (author), Padding, J.T. (author)We investigate forced convective heat transfer in packings of spheres, cylinders and Raschig rings, made of glass, steel and alumina, in relatively narrow tubes. A detailed comparison is made between resolved pellet-scale, azimuthally-averaged temperature profiles, and 2D-axially-dispersed pseudo-homogenous plug flow (2D-ADPF) predictions....journal article 2021

Mohammadzadeh Moghaddam, E. (author), Foumeny, E. A. (author), Stankiewicz, A.I. (author), Padding, J.T. (author)The local flow structure and pressure drop in random packings of Raschig rings are analyzed using sequential Rigid Body Dynamics (RBD) method and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. Tube-to-pellet diameter ratios, N, between 3 and 6 are investigated for laminar, transitional and turbulent flow regimes (5 ≤ Re<sub>p</sub> ≤ 3,000)....journal article 2020

Kamath, S. (author), Masterov, M. V. (author), Padding, J.T. (author), Buist, K. A. (author), Baltussen, M. W. (author), Kuipers, J. A.M. (author)A parallel and scalable stochastic Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method applied to large-scale dense bubbly flows is reported in this paper. The DSMC method is applied to speed up the bubble-bubble collision handling relative to the Discrete Bubble Model proposed by Darmana et al. (2006) [1]. The DSMC algorithm has been modified and...journal article 2020

Vikrant, V. (author), Padding, J.T. (author)A novel approach to Multiphase-Particle-in-Cell (MP-PIC), called Continuum Particle Model (CPM), is developed for dense gas-particle flows. CPM has high computational speed, comparable to that of MP-PIC, but a robustness and accuracy closer to that of a Discrete Element Model (DEM). The gas phase is treated as a continuum phase and particles...journal article 2020

Vila, A. (author), Pacha Sanjeevi, S.K. (author), Padding, J.T. (author), Pirker, Stefan (author)Fractures of particle assemblies happen frequently in dense gas-solid systems leading to a notable heterogeneity in the particle configuration, especially in case of cohesive powders and non-spherical particle interlocking. In this work, we investigate the influence of such heterogeneities on the hydrodynamic drag by studying the idealized...journal article 2019

Fitzgerald, B. (author), Zarghami, A. (author), Mahajan, V.V. (author), Pacha Sanjeevi, S.K. (author), Mema, I. (author), Vikrant, V. (author), El Hasadi, Yousef M.F. (author), Padding, J.T. (author)In this paper, we present a number of key numerical methods that can be used to study elongated particles in fluid flows, with a specific emphasis on fluidised beds. Fluidised beds are frequently used for the production of biofuels, bioenergy, and other products from biomass particles, which often have an approximate elongated shape. This...journal article 2019

Kamath, S. (author), Padding, J.T. (author), Buist, K. A. (author), Kuipers, J.R. (author)A stochastic Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method has been extended for handling bubble-bubble and bubble-wall collisions. Bubbly flows are generally characterized by highly correlated velocities due to presence of the surrounding liquid. The DSMC method has been improved to account for these kind of correlated collisions along with a...journal article 2018
