A Coupled SPH-DEM Model for Fluid and Solid Mechanics of Apple Parenchyma Cells During Drying
A coupled SPH-DEM based two-dimensional (2-D) micro-scale single cell model is developed to predict basic cell-level shrinkage effects of apple parenchyma cells during air drying. In this newly developed drying model, Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is used to model the low Reynolds Number fluid motions of the cell protoplasm, and a Discrete Element Method (DEM) is employed to simulate th...
متن کاملA meshfree model for plant tissue deformations during drying
Plant tissue has a complex cellular structure which is an aggregate of individual cells bonded by middle lamella. During drying processes, plant tissue undergoes extreme deformations which are mainly driven by moisture removal and turgor loss. Numerical modelling of this problem becomes challenging when conventional grid-based modelling techniques such as finite element and finite difference me...
متن کاملSimulation of Plant Cell Shrinkage during Drying -a Sph-dem Approach
8 9 Plant based dried food products are popular commodities in global market where much research is focused to improve 10 the products and processing techniques. In this regard, numerical modelling is highly applicable and in this work, a 11 coupled meshfree particle-based two-dimensional (2-D) model was developed to simulate micro-scale deformations of 12 plant cells during drying. Smoothed Pa...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
A Particle-Based Micromechanics Approach to Simulate Structural Changes of Plant Cells During Drying
This paper is concerned with applying a particle-based approach to simulate the micro-level cellular structural changes of plant cells during drying. The objective of the investigation was to relate the micro-level structural properties such as cell area, diameter and perimeter to the change of moisture content of the cell. Model assumes a simplified cell which consists of two basic components,...
