  • First Online:
Particle-Based Methods

Part of the book series: Computational Methods in Applied Sciences ((COMPUTMETHODS,volume 25))

Abstract

The current work presents the recent advances in computational modelling strategies for effective simulations of multi physics involving fluid, thermal and magnetic interactions in particle systems. The numerical procedures presented comprise the Discrete Element Method for simulating particle dynamics; the Lattice Boltzmann Method for modelling the mass and velocity field of the fluid flow; the Discrete Thermal Element Method and the Thermal Lattice Boltzmann Method for solving the temperature field. The coupling of the fields is realised through hydrodynamic and magnetic interaction force terms. Selected numerical examples are provided to illustrate the applicability of the proposed approach.
