Modelling of Industrial Granular Flows
The production, processing and transport of particulate or granular
materials, such as minerals, powders or cereals, is of immense industrial
importance. Yet, while a lot is known about the flow of gases and liquids,
much less is known about the movements of granular material.
Research at CMIS has led to the development of Discrete Element Method
(DEM) codes that allow many granular flow processes to be studied. These
processes include separation and mixing (such as in making glass and
drugs), milling, grinding and crushing (such as in ball mills and
centrifugal mills), blasting and fracturing, rotary moulding, bulk
material sampling, blending and stockpile construction, flows in hoppers,
silos and bins, conveyor belts, open cut mining and excavation.
