Review: Recently, several new applications, primarily driven by microtechnology, have emerged where successful analysis requires the simulation of flowing particulate media involving simultaneous near-field interaction between charged particles and momentum exchange through mechanical contact. In many systems with flowing particles below the 1-mm scale, the particles can acquire relatively large electrostatic charges, leading to significant interparticle near-field forces. This book provides basic models and numerical solution strategies for the direct simulate of flowing particulate media that can be achieved with a laptop or desktop computing system. The emphasis is on fluidized dry particulate flows in which there is no significant interstitial fluid, but fully coupled fluid–particle systems are also discussed.
