... representations and thus avoid the excessive computational resources required to track all the discrete sediment particles of the bed material in the domain of interest. In the current work a periodic domain is assumed making this type of simulation more feasible for CFD-DEM simulations. An augmented soft sphere...

..., they present significant challenges to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelers to model regional lung deposition from a DPI. In the current work, we present a novel high fidelity CFD discrete element modeling (CFD-DEM) and sensitivity analysis framework for predicting the transport of DPI carrier and API...
