The accurate prediction of particle transport is a primary safety issue. Tracking particles in Lagrangian fashion can naturally be performed with CFD tools which provide the right framework to follow the paths of particles in complex geometries. The presence of turbulent structures in the fluid complicates the particle tracking problem considerably, because particle trajectories are no longer d...

This work presents a computational study of flow behaviour in a bubbling fluidized bed polymerization reactor. The model is developed by using the commercial CFD code Fluent 6.3. The model is based on an Eulerian description of the gas and the particle phase. The effect of distributor shape on fluidization is analyzed using the inbuilt Gidaspow and Syamlal-O’brien Drag Model. The computational ...

This work presents a computational study of flow behaviour in a bubbling fluidized bed. The model is developed by using the commercial CFD code Fluent 6.3. The model is based on an Eulerian description of the gas and the particle phase. Different drag models are used and compared. The computational results are validated against experimental results. The experimental data are taken from Hulme (2...

in this study, confined impinging liquid jets are used to produce nanoparticles of carbamazepine (cbz). the effect of operating parameters, such as the kind of solvent,cbz concentration, flow rate of solution and antisolvent on particle size, are experimentally investigated. the scanning electron micrograph (sem) photomicrographs show that nanodrug with smaller particle is achievable by using s...

We present a scalable dissipative particle dynamics simulation code, fully implemented on the Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) using a hybrid CUDA/MPI programming model, which achieves 10-30 times speedup on a single GPU over 16 CPU cores and almost linear weak scaling across a thousand nodes. A unified framework is developed within which the efficient generation of the neighbor list and mainta...

Simulations in the subsurface environment represent a broad range of phenomena covering an equally broad range of scales. Developing modelling capabilities that can integrate models representing different phenomena acting at different scales present formidable challenges both from the algorithmic and computer science perspective. This paper will describe the development of an integrated framewo...

A double-GPU code is developed to accelerate WENO schemes. The test problem is a compressible viscous flow. The convective terms are discretized using third- to ninth-order WENO schemes and the viscous terms are discretized by the standard fourth-order central scheme. The code written in CUDA programming language is developed by modifying a single-GPU code. The OpenMP library is used for parall...

In a standard theory of the formation planets in our Solar System, terrestrial and cores gas giants are formed through accretion kilometer-sized objects (planetesimals) protoplanetary disk. Gravitational $N$-body simulations disk system made up numerous planetesimals most direct way to study process. However, use has been limited idealized models (e.g. perfect accretion) and/or narrow spatial r...
