The development and application of a simultaneous two-way coupled, discrete element method and smoothed particle hydrodynamic model for spatial scale-up dynamics of laboratory vert... by Ssebunnya, Divine

“…In the advent of the discrete element method (DEM) and smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), the computational simulation of free surface, particulate, and fluid flow in wet fine grinding mill systems has been executed, with DEM accounting for the grinding media, impeller and mill shell, and SPH accounting for the slurry, modelled as a quasi-compressible fluid. …”

Stability behaviour and dynamic response of cooling towers subjected to wind loading by Kucherera, Grant Tarwirei

“…In this study, a linear eigenvalue buckling parametric analysis is presented for various cooling tower shell geometries. The shells are subjected to increasing wind pressures (speeds) to observe the trends in the critical buckling pressures/speeds at which the shell first buckles and the corresponding buckling modes. …”

Analysis of a car door subjected to side impact by Long, Christopher Robert

“…Drop test experiments on beams with square and round cross -sections were carried out to validate the equivalent finite element model. The drop mass and height of the striker was varied such that the transient response of the isolated side impact beam matched the response of the beam in the simulation of the equivalent door model and full vehicle model. …”

Buckling behaviour of thin concrete arch dams by Letsika, Malefetsane David

“…When subjected to the hydrostatic pressure applied by the retained water, the shell undergoes mostly compressive internal reactions, which can lead in the thin shell buckling. …”

Boltzmann equation studies of the off-equilibrium QCD phenomena by Viljoen, Brandon

“…To that end, a useful tool from the stage where we can assume the partons to be on-shell is the relativistic Boltzmann equation. We develop parallel code to solve the relativistic Boltzmann equation in the relaxation time approximation in 3 + 1 dimensions (without simplifying assumptions on possible symmetries of the dynamics). …”
