Comparison of modelling approaches for liquid fluidized beds
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract This study presents a comparison of three promising numerical models for the detailed simulation of liquid–solid fluidized bed. These models differ in their treatment of the solid phase, ranging from treating each particle individually to treating the collection of particles as a continuum.

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Accurately simulating multiphase flows at low capillary numbers remains challenging due to spurious currents and interface discretization errors. We present a systematic comparison of four volume‐of‐fluid (VOF) solvers within the OpenFOAM framework for pressure‐driven Poiseuille–Bingham flow over grooved surfaces: interFoam with classical ...

Experimental methods in chemical engineering: Cyclic voltammetry—CV
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Cyclic voltammetry (CV) is a foundational electroanalytical technique for investigating redox behaviour and evaluating material performance across fields such as molecular electrochemistry, electrocatalysis, sensing, and energy storage. Despite its widespread use, a gap remains between formal electrochemical theory and the practical data ...

Stability of Viscous Three‐Dimensional Stratified Couette Flow via Dispersion and Mixing
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article explores the stability of stratified Couette flow in the viscous 3d$3d$ Boussinesq equations. In this system, mixing effects arise from the shearing background, and gravity acts as a restoring force leading to dispersive internal gravity waves.

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.

Localized 3D acoustic streaming in microdroplets using high‐frequency micro‐beam IDTs
Droplet, EarlyView.Miniaturized 160 MHz acoustic microbeam transducers, with a size much smaller than droplets, enable precise localized actuation, generating complex three‐dimensional streaming and tunable particle aggregation. This concept provides high‐resolution, non‐contact fluid manipulation for biosensing, lab‐on‐chip diagnostics, and targeted drug screening ...

Non‐monotonic jet pinch‐off induced by droplet impact on immiscible liquids
Droplet, EarlyView.The graphical abstract shows the evolution of the central jet following droplet impact and summarizes the non‐monotonic dependence of the critical Weber number on the dimensionless film thickness and Ohnesorge number. Abstract Droplet impact on immiscible liquids can generate a central jet whose pinch‐off behavior plays a crucial role in many advanced ...
