Particle-resolved simulation of freely evolving particle suspensions: Flow physics and modeling [PDF]
The objective of this study is to understand the dynamics of freely evolving particle suspensions over a wide range of particle-to-fluid density ratios. The dynamics of particle suspensions are characterized by the average momentum equation, where the dominant contribution to the average momentum transfer between particles and fluid is the average drag

Resolved Large Eddy Simulations of a Settling or Rising Spherical Microplastic Particle
The settling and rising of spherical microplastic particles with different Reynolds numbers, Re, were studied using a fully coupled large eddy simulation–discrete element method (LES-DEM) model, where the particles were treated using the immersed ...

Numerical methods and time-dependent physical models for the design and diagnostic of pulsed-dc magnetrons [PDF]
Pulsed DC operation of magnetrons is a relatively new sputtering technique that significantly improves the properties of deposited layers. The understanding and control of phenomena taking place during pulsed DC sputtering requires new time-resolved ...

Explaining global surface aerosol number concentrations in terms of primary emissions and particle formation [PDF]
We synthesised observations of total particle number (CN) concentration from 36 sites around the world. We found that annual mean CN concentrations are typically 300–2000 cm -3 in the marine boundary layer and free troposphere (FT) and 1000–10 000 cm -3 ...

Particle-resolved simulation of antidunes in free-surface flows
The interaction of supercritical turbulent flows with granular sediment beds is challenging to study both experimentally and numerically. This challenging task has hampered advances in understanding antidunes, the most characteristic bedform of supercritical flows.

Idealized particle-resolved large-eddy simulations to evaluate the impact of emissions spatial heterogeneity on CCN activity [PDF]
Aerosol-cloud interactions remain a large source of uncertainty in global climate models (GCMs) due to complex, nonlinear processes that alter aerosol properties and the inability to represent the full compositional complexity of aerosol populations ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Numerical simulation of retention and release of colloids in porous media at the pore scale [PDF]
Transport of a solid colloidal particle was simulated at the pore scale in presence of surface roughness and particle/pore physicochemical interaction by adopting a “one fluid” approach.
