However, it becomes computational expensive especially when the number of particles is large. In this study, a novel artificial neural network (ANN) model is proposed to replace the model of interaction forces between multiple particles in DEM including contact force and electrostatic force. The ANN model combines the residual network (ResNet) with the physics informed neural network (PINN). The physical loss term is derived from the Newton's third law about internal forces in multi-particle system. The performance of the ANN model is evaluated based on the DEM simulation data of 100, 200, and 300-particle system in a wall-bounded 2D swirling flow. It is found that the computing time is reduced nearly an order of magnitude (7–10 times) compared with the DEM model.

Considering there are currently no relevant visualized experiments reported using scCO₂ as a fluidized agent due to the extreme operating pressure of CO₂ (25 MPa in this paper) under supercritical conditions, present numerical model was validated with experimental data by using air as the fluidizing agent, confirming simulated instantaneous volume fraction distribution of air and transient temperature evolutions of particles basically consistent with the experiments. Numerical results reveal some of the internal relations among hydrodynamics characteristics in bed, momentum transfer characteristics among particles and relevant heat transfer behaviours.

The new objective function was developed with better margin metric and weighting technique to minimize fine crystal mass, meanwhile, a newly constructed sinusoidal weight function was introduced to improve the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. A precise control of CSD with suppressed numerical discrepancy caused by fine crystals removal was developed by combining seed recipe and temperature-swing.

Two typical batch cooling crystallization systems were used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method in controlling product CSD while minimizing fine crystal mass. Results demonstrated that the desired product CSD can be achieved with minor errors while the fine crystals could be shrunk to be negligible, i.e., the fine crystal mass and number can be reduced by over 90%.

The effects of particle morphology on the macroscopic mechanical behavior and microscopic energy evolution of sand under complex stress paths were studied in detail, combined with the circular and elliptical particles widely used in current tests. The results show that with the increase of the irregularity of the sample shape, the cycle period and radius of the closed circle formed by the partial strain curve gradually decrease, and the center of the circle gradually shifts. In addition, the volume strain and liquefaction strength of sand samples increase with the increase of particle shape irregularity. It is particularly noteworthy that obvious vortex structures exist in the positions near the center where deformation is severe in the samples of circular and elliptical particles. However, such structures are difficult to be directly observed in sample with irregular particles.

The main conclusions derived from this investigation are as follows: Firstly, as the lattice number in the X direction increases, the average seepage velocities in coal samples treated by deionized water, 0.1% CAB, 0.1% SDS, and 0.1% CDEA reagents (Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4) exhibit three distinct stages: rapid decline, slow decline, and steady decline; in comparison to raw coal sample, modified coal samples demonstrate decreases of 20.84%, 33.91%, and 61.70%, respectively. Secondly, the critical values of displacement pressure difference exist during the phenomenon that modified reagents spread out in the entire flow channel, which are 3.5, 3.5, and 5.2 MPa, respectively, for coal samples Nos. 2, 3, and 4; this signifies that surpassing these critical values help prevent issues such as blank belts within the wetting range and insufficient dust control. Finally, at a displacement pressure difference of 0.01 (lattice unit), the average velocity ratios for samples (Nos. 2, 3, and 4) are 0.78, 0.56, and 0.37 (lattice unit), respectively; notably, the water flow velocities in modified coal samples are lower compared to that in raw coal sample, indicating that the addition of surfactants impede the seepage process of water injection in coal seam. Moreover, when the displacement pressure difference reaches 0.03 (lattice unit), the velocity ratio of CDEA-modified coal sample exceeds 100%; this means that when the displacement pressure difference surpasses 15.6 MPa, the water injection effect of CDEA-modified coal sample begins to be improved.
