CEP: September 2017

Coupling the traditional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach to model the fluid phase with the discrete element method (DEM) to model the particles creates a powerful numerical method to study multiphase particulate flows. See how CFD-DEM can be applied to modeling gas-solid multiphase systems. Other topics in this issue include human factors in alarm response, back to basics: boilers, and troubleshooting wastewater treatment.
