Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article explores the effect of Van der Waals force and static friction on the fluidization of fine solids using CFD-DEM simulations. The results show that both Van der Waals adhesion and static friction contribute to the pressure-drop hysteresis phenomenon. These results also demonstrate that to predict the homogeneous expansion of the bed across the range of velocities from the minimum required for fluidization to the minimum for bubbling, it is necessary to take into account the Van der Waals adhesion. The generated CFD-DEM dataset can guide the development of solid stress closures for two-fluid models to incorporate the effects of Van der Waals adhesion and static friction on fluidization hydrodynamics, allowing for the prediction of hysteresis in bed pressure drop at the macro-scale.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
