Miniaturized gas-solid fluidized beds
Fernando David Cúñez Benalcázar, Erick de Moraes Franklin
Fluidized beds are suspensions of grains by ascending fluids in tubes, and are commonly used in industry given their high rates of mass and heat transfers between the solids and fl…
Grain-scale computations of barchan dunes
Nicolao Cerqueira Lima, Willian Righi Assis, Carlos Azael Alvarez +1
Barchans are crescent-shaped dunes commonly found in diverse environments and scales: from the 10-cm-long barchans found under water to the 1-km-long barchans on Mars, passing by t…
Resolved CFD-DEM simulations of the hydraulic conveying of coarse grains through a very-narrow elbow
Elmar Anton Schnorr Filho, Nicolao Cerqueira Lima, Erick de Moraes Franklin
This paper investigates numerically the hydraulic conveying of solids through a 90 elbow that changes the flow direction from horizontal to vertical, in the very-narrow c…
Motion and clustering of bonded particles in narrow solid-liquid fluidized beds
Fernando David Cúñez, Nicolao Cerqueira Lima, Erick de Moraes Franklin
This paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation of solid-liquid fluidized beds consisting of bonded spheres in very narrow tubes, i.e., when the ratio between the t…
An analytical comprehensive solution for the superficial waves appearing in gravity-driven flows of liquid films
Bruno Pelisson Chimetta, Erick de Moraes Franklin
This paper is devoted to analytical solutions for the base flow and temporal stability of a liquid film driven by gravity over an inclined plane when the fluid rheology is given by…
Crystallization and jamming in narrow fluidized beds
Fernando David Cúñez, Erick de Moraes Franklin
A fluidized bed is basically a suspension of granular material by an ascending fluid in a tube, and it has a rich dynamics that includes clustering and pattern formation. When the…
