Abstract
Two-phase liquid–solid systems, such as mixing units, fluidized beds , hydraulic conveyors, and separation systems, are commonly found in various industries. The coupled CFD–DEM method has become a widely accepted approach for analyzing these systems due to its accuracy and versatility. However, it is common in the literature to apply the assumptions used in simulating gas–solid systems to liquid–solid contexts. This critical distinction is often overlooked: the forces of interaction between the fluid and particles, as well as the dynamics between particles, differ significantly in liquid–solid systems compared to gas–solid systems. Neglecting these differences can result in inaccurate simulations. This study emphasizes the key differences between using CFD–DEM for simulating liquid–solid systems versus gas–solid systems. The study also examines the capabilities of the CFD–DEM method in simulating various liquid–solid unit operations. Lastly, it identifies gaps in current CFD–DEM models and suggests areas for model improvement.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
