Numerical Simulation of Multiphase Flows in Food and Pharmaceutical Applications

Abstract

In this paper, we present numerical studies on multiphase flows related to food and pharmaceutical applications, focusing on the Discrete Element Method (DEM) and solid–fluid interaction simulations using the DEM. Specifically, we describe numerical models of the DEM coupled with the Volume-of-Fluid method and the DEM coupled with the Lattice Boltzmann Method, along with their application examples. In addition, we present the studies regarding the Reduced-Order Model based on Proper Orthogonal Decomposition.
