Numerical Modelling for Processes in Powders and Bulk Solids
Numerical Modelling is now widely used for process and product design control and analysis in many fields. In powders and bulk solids progress has been slow but now, techniques are starting to open up.
Come to this course and find out what the different techniques are and what they can do for you, including:
- the fundamentals of modelling;
- the many different techniques that can be applied to powders and bulk solids;
- the relative advantages for different types of processes and problems;
- the expertise level and expense involved
Whether you are making and/or using powders, designing equipment and processes or just starting in research in powders/particulate technology, this introductory level course will help you understand your options and possibilities.
The modelling techniques to be discussed include:
•DEM
•Population Balance Modelling
•Cellular Automata
•Finite Difference Modelling
•CFD – both Euler-Euler and Euler-Lagrange
The areas of application that will be highlighted include:
Transfer chute design;
Particulate transport in air;
Segregation (demixing);
Particle breakage in transport.
The course will be delivered in English
