... the solid phase equations are based on enlarged Kinetic Theory concepts. To obtain the LES equations, the volume-averaged equations are filtered and the filtered terms not directly computable from the LES solution are generically modeled. Additionally, the pseudo-turbulent kinetic energy (PTKE) is included...

... developed velocity profiles at its exit. The effect of interparticle collisions in the nozzle gives rise to solids pressure and viscosity, which are modeled using kinetic theory of granular flows (KTGF). The particle sizes are in the range of 30 μ m to 2 mm, and the particle loading is varied from...

... wall confinement by taking into account the boundary limiting effects on the molecular free paths. Our model is validated against molecular dynamics simulation data and compared with other theoretical models. As gas transport properties can be related to the mean free path through kinetic theory...

... applications require three dimensional models characterizing the coupling of magnetic behavior to mechanical behavior in MR fluids. The authors have derived 3D MR fluid models based on multiscale kinetic theory. The underlying bases of the models are summarized, with phenomenological empiricism distinguished...
