Coupled CFD-DEM Modeling: Formulation, Implementation and Application to Multiphase Flows

Discusses the CFD-DEM method of modeling which combines both the Discrete Element Method and Computational Fluid Dynamics to simulate fluid-particle interactions.

• Deals with both theoretical and practical concepts of CFD-DEM, its numerical implementation accompanied by a hands-on numerical code in FORTRAN
• Gives examples of industrial applications
