CFDEM®coupling has been applied by a group in Princeton University and Graz UT to study very large gas-particle systems: the study of Ozel et al. (Chem Eng Sci, in press; doi:10.1016/j.ces.2016.08.014) analyzed freely sedimenting particles in periodic boxes involving more than 31 million particles. These are one of the largest CFD-DEM simulations ever performed, and to our knowledge the currently largest simulations in periodic domains carried out using CFDEM®coupling. Congratulations to the group of Ozel for demonstrating the capabilities of their version of CFDEM®coupling!
