Development of Numerical Analysis of Multiphase Flow in Powder Technology

Abstract

The state-of-the-art of numerical simulation models and methods in gas-solid two-phase flows in powder technology field is briefly reviewed. Eulerian-Lagrangian coupling simulations have been largely developed in the last three decades,especially the DEM-CFD coupling simulation has become popular, and widely used in many operations of powder technology. It is expected that the mesoscopic flow models and two-fluid models will be improved by using the multiscale-modeling strategy.
