Additive manufacturing (3D printing) is enabling novel porous structures such as triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) that may help improve the efficiency of various applications in chemical engineering. In this work, a range Schwarz–Diamond TPMS were examined experimentally terms printability and pressure drop. X-ray computed tomography scans used to show shape was accurately printed, however systematic reduction porosity observed compared with each designed structure. The drop through...
Abstract Oblique collisions of two spherical particles coated with a thin layer viscous liquid are considered. Experimental measurements performed using particle tracking velocimetry and the results compared to force capillary models via numerical simulation discrete‐element method. Comprehensive experimental data for an impact angle between 0° 60° presented ensure future can be rigorously validated. Collisions characterized by normal Stokes' number (a dimensionless ratio inertial forces...
Oblique collisions of two spherical particles coated with a thin layer viscous liquid are considered. Experimental measurements performed using particle tracking velocimetry. Comprehensive experimental data for an impact angle between 0° - 60° presented. Collisions characterised by the Stokes’ number, coefficient restitution, and rotational velocity. The experiments compared to numerical simulations discrete element method (DEM). translational velocities predicted were in good agreement at...
