This paper presents a numerical study of the particle behaviors under acceleration conditions in the solid-air two-phase flow by means of a combined two-dimensional model of computational fluid dynamics and discrete element method (CFD-DEM). The simulation model provides the information regarding the particle distribution behaviors within the calculation region and the particle run-out rate from the calculation region under different parameter conditions, such as particle size, initial particle loading and particle acceleration condition. The results demonstrate that the particle run-out rate is directly influenced by the particle size and the initial loading condition. The particle acceleration in the horizontal direction adversely affects the particle run-out rate when the initial particle loading condition is dispersed and uniform. However, this adverse effect disappears when the initial particle loading condition becomes concentrate and partial.

Overview of the quantitative evaluation procedure of strain rate and temperature effects on fracture toughness proposed by the authors is introduced. Important concept of former researches is that the fracture toughness is a function of the strain rate-temperature parameter (R), which enables to unify both strain rate and temperature effects for the mechanical properties of materials. Using this knowledge, the equivalent temperature shift values at arbitrary strain rate from static loading condition are proposed.

Abstract The country population is increasing rapidly and the needs to make lives easier daily. Some of the essential needs for this generation are crude oil and electricity. India unfortunately does not possess any oil reserves to meet the needs of the country’s demands. So, India is importing oil from other countries. Whenever there are situations like war, pandemic (COVID-19) and other emergencies, the natural oil reserved countries cannot export the oil to other countries which will lead to great chaos in the country. To avoid this situation storing the crude oil is necessary. Building surface giant structures for storing the oil is difficult and won’t be economical. So, India is constructing giant underground structures called caverns, which will reserve the oil. The present study is focused on the stability of the underground cavern structure and understanding the importance of water curtaining system. To analyze the stresses and displacement 2D modelling has been done. In this, wet and dry models are prepared and analysed based on the available geological and geo-technical data to determine the stresses around the cavern and the displacement which will reach on surface due to excavation.
