Effect of free water on the quasi‑static compression behavior of partially‑saturated concrete with a fully coupled DEM/CFD approach.
PublicationThe work aims to numerically investigate the quasi-static response of partially fluid-saturated concrete under two-dimensional uniaxial compression at the mesoscale. We investigated how the impact of free pore fluid content (water and gas) affected the quasi-static strength of concrete. The totally and partially fluid-saturated concrete behavior was simulated using an improved pore-scale hydro-mechanical model based on DEM/CFD....

A novel DEM-based pore-scale thermal-hydro-mechanical model for fractured non-saturated porous materials
PublicationDo propagacji pęknięć wykorzystano nowy oparty na DEM, termiczno-hydromechaniczny model dwufazowego przepływu płynu w skali porów rozszerzony o wymianę ciepła w nienasyconych materiałach porowatych o małej porowatości. Wykonano obliczenia numeryczne dla kohezyjnych próbek ziarnistych przy użyciu DEM w pełni sprzężonego z CFD (opartego na sieci przepływu płynu) i wymianą ciepła, który zintegrował mechanikę dyskretną z mechaniką...

Modelling hydraulic and capillary-driven two-phase fluid flow in unsaturated concretes at the meso-scale with a unique coupled DEM-CFD technique
PublicationThe goal of the research was to demonstrate the impact of thin porous interfacial transition zones (ITZs) between aggregates and cement matrix on fluid flow in unsaturated concrete caused by hydraulic/capillary pressure. To demonstrate this impact, a novel coupled approach to simulate the two-phase (water and moist air) flow of hydraulically and capillary-driven fluid in unsaturated concrete was developed. By merging the discrete...

A pore-scale thermo–hydro-mechanical model for particulate systems
PublicationA pore scale numerical method dedicated to the simulation of heat transfer and associated thermo–hydro-mechanical couplings in granular media is described. The proposed thermo–hydro-mechanical approach builds on an existing hydromechanical model that employs the discrete element method for simulating the mechanical behavior of dense sphere packings and combines it with the finite volume method for simulating pore space fluid flow...
