A numerical model has been developed to investigate temperature field of high prandtl number liquid bridge under zero-gravity condition, and numerical simulations have been carried out. The Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the energy conservation equation on a staggered grid. In numerical calculations, we considered not only the free surface deformation but also the effects of ambient air. Overall numerical analysis of liquid bridge was carried out by level set method of mass conservation to capture two phase interfaces. Simultaneously, results of temperature field in liquid bridge and ambient gas-phase were given.

Cohesive forces between grains can arise from a variety of sources – such as liquid bridge (capillary) forces, van der Waals forces, or electrostatic forces – and may play a significant role in the processing of fine and/or moist powders. While recent advances have been made in our understanding of liquid-induced cohesion at the macroscopic level, in general, it is still not possible to directly connect this macroscopic understanding of cohesion with a microscopic picture of the particle properties and interaction forces. In fact, conventional theories make no attempt to distinguish between these modes of cohesion, despite clear qualitative differences (lubrication forces in wet systems or electrostatic repulsion are two good examples). In this work, we discuss several discrete characterization tools for wet (cohesive) granular material with simple, physically relevant interpretations. We examine the utility of these tools, both computationally and experimentally, by exploring a range of cohesive strengths (from cohesionless to cohesive) in several prototypical applications of solid and gas-solid flows.
