• Adaptive coarse‐graining for large‐scale DEM simulations 

      Queteschiner, Daniel; Lichtenegger, Thomas; Schneiderbaer, Simon; Pirker, Stefan (SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The large time and length scales and, not least, the vast number of particles involved in industrial-scale simulations inflate the computational costs of the Discrete Element Method (DEM) excessively. Coarse grain models ...
    • CFD‐DEM modelling of blast furnace tapping 

      Vango, Mathias; Pirker, Stefan; Lichtenegger, Thomas (SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The campaign length of a blast furnace is limited by the hearth inner lining lifetime. In order to maximize the campaign length and ensure a good draining of hot metal and slag, a good understanding of the flow in the ...
    • Extremely fast simulations of heat transfer in fluidized beds 

      Lichtenegger, Thomas; Priker, Stefan (SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter, 2017)
      Besides their huge technological importance, fluidized beds have attracted a large amount of research because they are perfect playgrounds to investigate highly dynamic particulate flows. Their overall behavior is determined ...
    • Modelling of chemical reactions in metallurgical processes 

      Kinaci, M. Efe; Lichtenegger, Thomas; Schneiderbauer, Simon (SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Iron-ore reduction has attracted much interest in the last three decades since it can be considered as a core process in steel industry. The iron-ore is reduced to iron with the use of blast furnace and fluidized bed ...
