A novel coupling approach for DEM/CFD simulations accounting for the heterogeneous and anisotropic nature of bulk solids (van Wachem) derives new models for an improved momentum coupling in DEM/CFD by considering the anisotropic nature of the morphology of the particle assembly. In FP2, the focus will be on i) particles with a varying size distribution, ii) non-isothermal flows, and iii) moving particles. This will also be combined with work on correcting for the drag on particles due to filtering, which will provide extensions for DEM/CFD frameworks to significantly increase the accuracy of the coupling between the local particle structure and the fluid phase without adding significant computational cost.
