• A numerical approach to model aggregate restructuring in shear flow using DEM in Lattice‐Boltzmann simulations 

      Saxena, Akash; Kroll-Rabotin, Jean-Sebastien; Sanders, R.Sean (SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Aggregate shape and structure significantly impact rheological properties of fluids in many fields such as extractive metallurgy, oil field drilling and mineral processing. The morphology of the aggregates determines the ...
    • Comparison of particle‐resolved direct numerical simulation and 1D modelling of catalytic reactions in a packed bed 

      Singhal, Arpit; Cloete, Schalk; Radi, Stefan; Quinta-Ferreira, Rosa; Amini, Shahriar (SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter; Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The work presents a comparison of catalytic gas-solid reactions in a packed bed as simulated on two widely different scales: direct numerical simulation (capable of accurately predicting transfer phenomena in and around a ...
    • Effect of lift force on dense gas‐fluidized beds of non‐spherical particles 

      Mema, Ivan; Mahajan, Vinay V.; Fitzgerald, Barry W.; Kuipers, Hans; Padding, Johan T. (SINTEF Proceedings;2, Chapter, 2017)
      In industry we encounter many processes that rely on equipment in which particles are suspended by a gas flow, such as pneumatic conveyors, CFB gasifiers, combustors and fluidized bed reactors. In numerical models of these ...
    • 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 ...
