Parameter Calibration Method for Discrete Element Simulation of Soil–Wheat Crop Residues in Saline–Alkali Coastal Land by Jie Liu, Tong Lu, Shuai Zheng, Yu Tian, Miaomiao Han, Muhao Tai, Xiaoning He, Hongxiu Li, Dongwei Wang, Zhuang Zhao

“…Taking the soil-wheat crop residue mixture’s angle of repose as the test index, four groups of parameters that significantly affect the angle of repose and their optimal value ranges were screened out through the Plackett–Burman test and the steepest ascent test. Then, the Box–Behnken test was conducted to obtain the quadratic regression model of the significant parameters and the angle of repose, and the optimal values of the significant parameters were obtained. …”

CFD simulations of a hydrocyclone in absence of an air core by Delgadillo J.A., Al Kayed M., Vo D., Ramamurthy A.S.

“…The conclusion developed from these experiments enables one to use the LDA directly in the hydrocyclone wall without recourse to auxiliary attachments such as an enclosing box that usually used to minimize the refraction effects of laser beams which are caused by the curved solid wall of the hydrocyclone and the refractive index of the test medium.…”
