Researchers Develop New Framework to Study Sedimentation Behavior of Particles in Vertical Pipes

Researchers have developed a new coupled Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) and Discrete Element Method (DEM) framework to investigate the sedimentation behavior of densely arranged particles in vertical pipes. The model, which integrates porosity-dependent fluid governing equations through local averaging techniques, accurately captures transient acceleration, drag equilibrium, and rebound dynamics. The

Numerical Simulation of Interaction Mechanisms Between Lithium Dendrites and Cavitation Bubbles Reveals Critical Insights for Recycling of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Researchers from Northeastern University have conducted a comprehensive study on the interaction mechanisms between lithium dendrites and cavitation bubbles in lithium-ion battery recycling. The study utilized a full cycle model of ultrasonic cavitation bubble lithium dendrite interaction in the flow field, which was constructed through finite volume method (FVM) numerical
