Fluid flow through particulate media is pivotal in many industrial processes, e.g. in fluidized beds, granular storage, industrial filtration and medical aerosols. Flow in these types of media is inherently complex and challenging to simulate, especially when the particulate phase is mobile. The goals of this paper are twofold: (i) the derivation of accurate correlations for the drag force, taking into account the effect of microstructure, to improve the higher scale macro-models and (ii) incorporating such closures into a “compatible” monolithic multi-phase/scale model that uses a (particle-based) Delaunay triangulation (DT) of space as basis – in future, possibly, involving also multiple fields
