Existing studies mainly focus on the impact of dry and non-cohesive granular materials, while the presence of liquid leads to differences in penetration depth. There are relatively few studies on the wet granular materials, especially regarding the effect of interstitial liquids in wet particle packings on the resistance force experienced by projectiles, which has not yet been quantitatively described. To clarify the effect of interstitial liquid on the resistance force borne by the projectile and the final penetration depth, this study conducted laboratory tests of the spherical projectile impacting wet particle packings and monitored the dynamic characteristics of the projectile during the impact process. Based on the motion equations of the projectile, the relationship between the inertial resistance term, the frictional resistance term, and the water content of the granular material was investigated, and an empirical parametric scale for the impact resistance force in wet granular materials was proposed. Additionally, with the help of the Lambert W function in mathematics, the analytical solution for the final penetration depth is given, and its reasonableness and accuracy were verified through experimental data.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":524,"journal":{"name":"Computational Particle Mechanics","volume":"12 2","pages":"1169 - 1180"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143919290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper employs a CFD-DEM model suitable for the motion of ellipsoidal particles within a lifting pump and calculates the particle upstream surface at different inclination angles. Hydraulic transport of three types of ellipsoidal particles with aspect ratios of 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 was simulated. An analysis of the motion characteristics of particles with different aspect ratios in a two-stage lifting pump found that an increase in aspect ratio decreased the overall velocity of the particles. When the aspect ratio increased, the aggregation effect of particles at the impeller inlet became more significant, and the conveying stability of the lifting pump decreased. Particles with high aspect ratios tend to clog the impeller vane inlets and create gyrations in the diffusion section of the pump. The peak velocity slip of particles in the diffusion section (pump outlet) decreases with an increasing aspect ratio. The results of the study will provide engineering theoretical support for the stable operation of lifting pumps.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":524,"journal":{"name":"Computational Particle Mechanics","volume":"12 3","pages":"1579 - 1594"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145164572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonetheless, accurately modeling high-viscosity fluids remains a persistent challenge. In this study, we propose a new implicit moving particle simulation (IMPS) method specifically designed to address the complexities associated with high-viscous free-surface flows, tackling two main issues. Firstly, unlike the traditional Laplacian model, where orthogonal velocity components are treated as independent variables, this method enforces the velocity divergence-free constraint when discretizing the viscous term, effectively coupling the velocity components. This coupling is crucial for conserving angular momentum, especially in high-viscosity scenarios. Secondly, to overcome the time step restrictions imposed by high viscosity, a novel implicit calculation algorithm has been developed. This algorithm enables the simultaneous and implicit solution of pressure and velocity, ensuring the precise application of both free-surface and wall boundary conditions. The effectiveness of the IMPS method is rigorously verified through simulations, including a rotational flow in a circular pipe and a square fluid dropping from a platform. The results indicate that the developed method successfully captures the dynamics of high-viscous free-surface flows, demonstrating its potential for broader applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":524,"journal":{"name":"Computational Particle Mechanics","volume":"12 3","pages":"1491 - 1505"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145164930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents uniaxial compression tests conducted on four rock-coal-bolt (RCB) and rock-coal-prestress bolt (RCPB) combinations, each with varying interface dip angles (<i>β</i> is 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°). Through acoustic emission (AE) monitoring, the influence of prestressed and non-prestressed bolts on mechanical properties, energy dissipation, and AE entropy characteristics was analyzed. Additionally, the microscopic mechanisms of prestressed bolt reinforcement were explored using PFC2D simulations. Results demonstrate that increasing <i>β</i> leads to a shift in failure mode, transitioning from tensile-shear failure within the coal to slip failure along the interface. Prestressed bolt induces secondary stresses through tensile or bending deformation, effectively hindering shear crack propagation and controlling slip failure, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the RCPB system. Furthermore, prestressed bolt improves energy storage capacity and order stability within the rock-coal system. Numerical findings reveal a spatiotemporal evolution of contact force chains within the RCPB system, leading to the formation of a prestressed anchorage zone characterized by a concentration of high-strength and high-density compressive force chains at the rock-coal-bolt interface.
