Biography
Dr Yuqing Feng is currently working as a Principal Research Scientist at the computational fluid dynamics team, CSIRO Mineral Resources Business Unit, leading on the development and application of advanced CFD models for complex multiphase flow systems involving bubbles, particles and droplets, with a focus on their applications in mineral processing and extractive metallurgy industries, by providing practical advice for reliable design, scale-up and control/optimization of different multi-phase complex flow systems. He also enhanced his career in the development and application of advanced FEA thermal-mechanic model for additive manufacturing process and thermal-electrical-mechanic model for aluminium anode stub-hole design/optimisation.

Proposed an innovative coupled DEM-Eulerian hybrid model, in which the gas phase and the dense particulate media phase of the bed material are modelled using the Eulerian approach, while the beneficiated coal and gangue particles in the dilute phase are modelled by DEM. Using this new approach allowed the underlying mechanisms governing particle segregation to be clarified through detailed analysis of the hydrodynamic forces acting on individual particles in the CBFB. The developed hybrid model is a world first, unique, and is a significant contribution to the development of computational modelling of particulate multiphase flow. Its potential application across mineral beneficiation is immense, particularly in the development of novel dry separation technologies. The research findings have been published in the prestige journals of Chemical Engineering Science (2015) and Chemical Engineering Journal (2015) and have been cited 24 times since publication.

During my PhD study under supervison of a world leading scientist (Prof Aibing Yu), I developed a coupled DEM and CFD model and applied the model to study the segregation behavior of particle mixtures in gas fluidization and the gas solid flow in blast furnace raceway. For the first time, the long standing debate on the effect of model formulations on fluidization behavior (referred to as Model A and Model B in Prof Gidaspow’s two-fluid model) was clarified through theoretical analysis, numerical simulation and experimental validation using a bi-sized particle mixtures in a gas fluidized bed. The PhD work yielded 21 publications (9 journals and 12 peer-reviewed conferences), including several in high impact journals, such as Chem. Eng. Sci., AIChE Journal, I&ECR. Two of the early publications (Feng et al, AIChE 2004) and Feng&Yu(IECR2004) have been cited 132 and 106 respectively so far. The research achievement made me successful in application for a very competitive ARC APD-I postdoctoral fellowship right after I completed my PhD project.
