Abstract Here, we introduce a calibration‐less bonded‐sphere model to describe three‐dimensional, linear elastic, highly deformable particles. Voronoi tessellation is used to partition a particle into multiple sub‐spheres, generating a virtual bond network that mimics the mechanical properties of the original particle.

Effect of Semi-elliptical Outer Blade-surface on the Savonius Hydrokinetic Turbine Performance: A Numerical Investigation [PDF]
The Savonius hydrokinetic turbine (SHT) is widely used for generating electricity from running water. However, most optimization work has been carried out on conventional blades with similar concave and convex profiles.

Modeling Interactions and Dynamic Saturation Processes in Karst Media
Abstract The simulation of karst aquifers is highly challenging due to complex conduit‐matrix interactions. This study utilizes KarstFOAM, a high‐fidelity, physics‐based numerical model, to address these challenges. KarstFOAM integrates (a) a unified single‐domain Forchheimer–Darcy–Brinkman–Stokes (FDBS) formulation that transitions naturally across ...
