The effect of meso-scale structures on hydrodynamic predictions is not considered in the classically uniform drag models when the coarse grid is used. To address this issue, this study tries to develop an effective three-marker drag correlation via straightforward sub-grid modeling, which accounts for a parabolic spatial concentration distribution within a computational grid. The reliability and accuracy of the developed model is then assessed in detail. How the uniform drag inputs affect the derived sub-grid correction is quantified for the first time. Besides, a comprehensive comparison between several typical sub-grid models and present work is implemented. Results reveal a systematic dependence of our drag modification on the concentration gradient as an additional marker. Coarse-grid hydrodynamic validation shows that the developed model yields a fairly improved agreement with experiments under various operating conditions in a 3D turbulent fluidized bed. Furthermore, results demonstrate that the present model using different uniform drag inputs still can exhibit satisfactory performance. The developed model is able to resolve the heterogeneous flow behavior both cheaply and adequately, which is potentially applied for industrial reactor design and optimization. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd.

Interpretable machine learning analysis and automated modeling to simulate fluid-particle flows

Bo Ouyang, Litao Zhu, Zhenghong Luo

Summary: The present study applies several novel data-driven analysis approaches to extract human-understandable insights from machine learning-based meso-scale closure in fluid-particle flows. The study aims to quantitatively investigate the influence of flow properties on mesoscale drag correction (Hd), and the results show strong correlations between the features (i.e., slip velocity (u* sy) and particle volume fraction (es)) and the label Hd. The interpretable ML analysis confirms this conclusion and quantifies the contribution of u* sy, es, and gas pressure gradient to the model.

CFD-DEM study of reactive gas-solid flows with cohesive particles in a high temperature polymerization fluidized bed

He Lei, Li -Tao Zhu, Zheng-Hong Luo

Summary: Detailed studies on the effect of cohesiveness on the hydrodynamics, heat transfer, and reaction characteristics in high-temperature polymerization fluidized bed reactors have been rarely reported. This work establishes a CFD-DEM approach coupled with a solid bridge force model and polymerization reaction kinetics model to simulate the reactive gas-solid flows with cohesive particles. The results show that cohesive particle agglomeration significantly affects the concentration, velocity fields, and temperature distribution in the reactor. The model also reveals the influence of cohesion model parameters on the onset temperature and severity of particle agglomeration.

Recent advances in investigating odor-taste interactions: Psychophysics, neuroscience, and microfluidic techniques

Yan Ping Chen, Ziyu Ding, Yashu Yu, Penglin He, Ya Zhou, Yuan Liu, Xi Feng

Summary: This article discusses the limited understanding of odor-taste interactions at the molecular levels and their influence on flavor perception. Microfluidic technology has the potential to provide high throughput assays and simulate complex interactions of body organs. Studies have shown that congruency between taste and odor affects the extent to which odor enhances taste perception. Furthermore, cross-modal interactions occur within primary sensory cortices in the brain and previous learning and experience are important factors. The use of microfluidic multichannels allows for separation of macromolecules in samples and offers higher throughput compared to conventional detection methods, making it feasible to establish in vitro sensory models to investigate interactions among flavor components and sensory organs.
