This paper describes the reviews of recent works in analysis, modeling, and simulation motion a non-spherical particle. The particles was analyzed detail by means fully resolved direct numerical (DNS). From DNS data, PDF-based drag coefficient model proposed applied to particle dispersion an isotropic turbulent flow assess effect shape comparing it with spherical Moreover, large-eddy (LES) axia...

A variety of experimental techniques for the generation of subsonic/supersonic dust fluid flows and means of measuring such flow velocities are presented. The experiments have been carried out in a Π-shaped dusty plasma experimental device with micron size kaolin/ melamine formaldehyde particles embedded in a background of argon plasma created by a direct current glow discharge. A stationary du...

We investigate the motion of a particle around a low mass planet embedded in a non-turbulent gaseous disk. We take into account the effect of the gas structure that is modified by the gravitational interaction between the planet. We derive an analytic formula that describes the change of the semi-major axis of the particle due to the encounter with the planet using local approximation in distan...

Classical lattice gas automata effectively simulate physical processes such as diffusion and fluid flow (in certain parameter regimes) despite their simplicity at the microscale. Motivated by current interest in quantum computation we recently defined quantum lattice gas automata; in this paper we initiate a project to analyze which physical processes these models can effectively simulate. Stud...

A number of analytical models predicting the size distribution of particles during atomization of Al-based alloys by N2, He and Ar gases were compared. Simulations of liquid break up in a close coupled atomizer revealed that the finer particles are located near the center of the spray cone. Increasing gas injection pressures led to an overall reduction of particle diameters and caused a migrati...

In the chemical process industry bubble columns are widely used and there is a lot of interest in the modelling of the gas-liquid flow in such equipment with the aid of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). In order to validate CFD simulations of gas-liquid flows in bubble columns one needs detailed measurement data at moderate gas fractions (i.e. up to 5 vol.%). For the validation of CFD results...

When a jet of gas impinges vertically on a granular bed and forms a crater, the grains may be moved by several different mechanisms: viscous erosion, diffused gas eruption, bearing capacity failure, and/or diffusion-driven shearing. The relative importance of these mechanisms depends upon the flow regime of the gas, the mechanical state of the granular material, and other physical parameters. H...
