Effect of a confining surface on a mixture with spontaneous inhomogeneities

On the use of magnetic particles to enhance the flow of vibrated grains through narrow apertures

The flow of grains through narrow apertures possess an extraordinary challenge: clogging. Strategies to alleviate the effect of clogging, such as the use of external vibration or addition of smaller grains, are always part of the design of machinery …

Proppant transport in scaled experiments: Effect of drainage configuration and fracture wall roughness

In recent years, there has been a number of experimental and numerical studies on the transport and settlement of proppant in scaled laboratory fractures that are of interest to understand hydraulic stimulation in hydrocarbon reservoirs. The results …

Self-Assembly of Optimally Packed Cylindrical Clusters inside Spherical Shells

Molecular dynamics simulation of the heart type fatty acid binding protein in a crystal environment

Crystallographic data comes from a space-time average over all the unit cells within the crystal, so dynamic phenomena do not contribute significantly to the diffraction data. Many efforts have been made to reconstitute the movement of the …

Enhancement of the flow of vibrated grains through narrow apertures by addition of small particles

Stability and conductivity of proppant packs during flowback in unconventional reservoirs: A CFD–DEM simulation study

We present simulations using a coupled Computational Fluid Dynamics–Discrete Element Method (CFD–DEM) approach for a slurry of millimeter-sized particles in water which is squeezed between two walls and then made flow out though a narrow aperture. …

Two Approaches to Quantification of Force Networks in Particulate Systems

The interactions between particles in dense particulate systems are organized in force networks, mesoscale features that influence the macroscopic response to applied stresses. The detailed structure of these networks is, however, difficult to …

Differential equation for the flow rate of discharging silos based on energy balance

Microwave tomography with phaseless data on the calcaneus by means of artificial neural networks

The aim of this study is to use a multilayer perceptron (MLP) artificial neural network (ANN) for phaseless imaging the human heel (modeled as a bilayer dielectric media: bone and surrounding tissue) and the calcaneus cross-section size and location …
