Collision-induced breakage of agglomerates in homogenous isotropic turbulence laden with adhesive particles
Sheng Chen, Shuiqing Li
We carry out direct numerical simulation combined with adhesive discrete element calculations to investigate collision-induced breakage of agglomerates in homogeneous isotropic tur…
Exponential Scaling in Early-stage Agglomeration of Adhesive Particles in Turbulence
Sheng Chen, Shuiqing Li, Jeffrey S. Marshall
We carry out direct numerical simulation together with an adhesive discrete element method calculation (DNS-DEM) to investigate agglomeration of particles in homogeneous isotropic…
Unifying size-topology relations in random packings of dry adhesive polydisperse spheres
Wenwei Liu, Sheng Chen, Chuan-yu Wu +1
We study the size-topology relations in random packings of dry adhesive polydisperse microspheres with Gaussian and lognormal size distributions through a geometric tessellation. W…
A fast adhesive discrete element method for random packings of fine particles
Sheng Chen, Wenwei Liu, Shuiqing Li
Introducing a reduced particle stiffness in discrete element method (DEM) allows for bigger time steps and therefore fewer total iterations in a simulation. Although this approach…
