Multiphase flows with solid particles are commonly encountered in various industries. The CFD–DEM method is extensively used to simulate their dynamical behavior. However, the application of industrial-scale powder processes unavoidably leads huge computational costs. With aim overcoming this issue, we propose a nonintrusive reduced-order model for Eulerian–Lagrangian simulations (ROM-EL) efficiently reproduce gas–solid flow fluidized beds. In model, Lanczos based proper orthogonal...
Reduced-order models (ROMs) have been extensively employed to understand complex systems efficiently and adequately. In this study, a novel parametric ROM framework is developed produce Eulerian–Lagrangian simulations. This study employs two typical strategies reproduce the physical phenomena of gas–solid flow by predicting adequate dynamics modal coefficients in ROM: (i) based on radial-basis function (RBF) interpolation, termed ROM-RBF (ii) long–short term memory (LSTM) neural network,...
The transport of monodisperse and bimodal particles in a turbulent non-Newtonian carrier is studied using Eulerian–Eulerian CFD model coupled with granular kinetic theory. predictions agreed satisfactorily experimental data solids concentration pressure drop. We investigated the effects diameter monodispersed (0.5–2 mm), (0.1–0.4), mixture velocity (3–6 m/s), fluid density (1000–1400 kg/m3) on flow behavior specific energy consumption. had most significant effect drop radial distribution.

Computational fluid dynamics coupled with the discrete element method (CFD-DEM) is widely employed for simulating multiphase flows involving particles, but heavy computational cost a major concern. Reduced order models (ROMs) based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) offer new potential to greatly reduce cost. This study aims investigate feasibility of POD-based ROMs Eulerian–Lagrangian simulations, considering few studies in this field. For analysis, whether dominant POD modes are...
We modeled the solution behavior of zirconium in uranium dioxide (UO2) by using density functional theory. The Coulomb repulsion 5f elections was characterized a spherically averaged Hubbard parameter. Our results indicate that prefers to locate at U vacancies UO2 and presents slight tendency accumulate thermodynamics. energies for hcp Zr metal monoclinic ZrO2 indicates these two precipitates are insoluble UO2. In perfect UO2, band-gap opening is governed peaks around Fermi energy, whereas...
It is important to clarify the mechanisms of molten-fuel-pool sloshing behavior that might be encountered during a core disruptive accident sodium-cooled fast reactors. In this study, motivated by acquiring some evidence for understanding characteristics at more realistic conditions, number experiments are newly performed injecting nitrogen gas into water pool with accumulation solid particles. To achieve comprehensive understanding, various parameters including particle bed height, size,...

Accurate forecasting of AUV spatial motions is essential for its safe operations. AUV’s 6-DOF coupling motion can cause mesh distortion in numerical simulation, which limits moving and dynamic overset method to be applied 3 DOFs with one rotational DOF.
