Insufficiency of potable water is acute in southwest (SW) coastal areas of Bangladesh. The local population ignores the depth to saltwater/freshwater interface causing many unsuccessful waters wells drilling. In this context, a combined use of borehole logs, geophysical well logs, vertical electrical soundings (VES), electrical resistivity tomograp...
Coal beneficiation via the air dense medium fluidized bed (ADMFB) has increased its popularity in recent de-cades. However, due to the coexistence of bubbles and the emulsion phases, obtaining a uniform and stable bed density for coal separation in ADMFB remains challenging. In this work, a coarse-grained CFD-DEM method with high accuracy in captur...
Mastitis-associated milk losses in dairy cows have a massive impact on farm profitability and sustainability. In this study, we analyzed milk losses from 4 553 treated mastitis cases as recorded via treatment registers at 41 AMS dairy farms. Milk losses were estimated based on the difference between the expected and the actual production. To estima...

Multiple breakup refers to a sequence of events through which a single droplet eventually produces multiple daughter droplets in a shear flow. It is a more common phenomenon than binary breakup. Using a phase-field lattice Boltzmann method, this work investigates the effects of Reynolds number, capillary number and soluble surfactant on multiple br...
Detailed comparison between particle-resolved direct numerical simulations (PR-DNS) and standard CFD-DEM simulations have concluded that the effective interphase drag force was underestimated by currently available drag correlations. Furthermore, PR-DNS have found that the force exerted on a single particle varies significantly even in statisticall...
Experiments and CFD-PBM simulation were performed in this study to investigate the effects of helically-finned tube (HFT) internals on the gas-liquid flow in a laboratory-scale bubble column. Hydrodynamic parameters, including gas holdup, bubble size and flow field as well as turbulence properties, were com-pared for an empty column and other two c...
