Review of CFD modelling techniques for single‐phase and multiphase flow in static mixers

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approaches for static mixers, linking hydrodynamics to pressure drop, particle/droplet distributions, mixing metrics, and heat‐transfer performance to guide modelling choices and design decisions. Abstract Static mixers enable compact and low‐energy intensification.

Acoustic‐driven surface cleaning with millimeter‐sized bubbles at translational resonance

Droplet, EarlyView.
Time‐lapse visualization comparing bubble trajectories. The top panel (0 Hz) shows a bubble's linear path under no acoustic forcing, while the bottom panel (50 Hz) demonstrates the oscillatory motion induced by acoustic waves at a resonance mode. This mechanism holds promising potential for applications such as surface cleaning.

Basal Force Probability Distributions in Thin‐Layer Granular Flows

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Extreme geophysical flows, such as granular and debris flows, can significantly shape the landscape in steep lands and generate seismic signals that can be recorded over long distances. However, direct field measurements needed to constrain the granular physics remain difficult due to the damage potential of those flows.

Impacts of Particle Density and Relative Submergence on the Sediment Entrainment Process: An Experimental Study Using a Smart Sediment Particle

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Quantifying the hydrodynamic forcing associated with sediment entrainment at the threshold of motion remains a fundamental challenge because bed–particle contact reactions are rarely measured concurrently. We conducted controlled flume experiments using a freely moving Smart Sediment Particle equipped with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to
