The group has developed a number of cutting-edge numerical models for simulating such complex flow problems, which can be broadly classified as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Detailed Fluid-Particle Flows<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Averaged Fluid-Particle Flows<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Particulate Flows<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simulation speed-up<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Further details about the models and
