Abstract: With the increase in transport of oil by rail, the probability of oil spills in rivers has increased. Traditionally, focus has been placed on oil slicks moving on the water surface. However, the density of bitumen oil ...

Abstract: A numerical framework was developed to study oil-particle aggregate (OPA) formation by incorporating NEMO3D code and the A-DROP model into an open-source platform, OpenFOAM. The developed framework was then used to study ...

Abstract: The dispersion of oil droplets in rivers was numerically investigated for uniform flow in a hypothetical wide river with a depth of 3.0  m. The river hydrodynamics profile was used in conjunction with the VDROP model to ...

Abstract: The transport of virus-laden particles was investigated numerically in an archetypical supermarket configuration of area 1,200  m2 and ceiling height of 4.5  m. The particles were tracked using a Lagrangian particle tracking ...
