Numerical Modelling of Solids Handling and Processing

Overview: An explanation of key principles for each method and how to relate them to particle and bulk characterisation

Subjects covered:

• DEM

• Population Balance Modelling

• Cellular Automata

• Finite Difference Modelling

• CFD – both Euler-Euler and Euler-Lagrange

  For each modelling technique the course will cover

  - how they work

  - key principles

  - the key parameterisation and calibration factors and how they relate to particle or bulk characterisation

  - an explanation of the problems and design challenges they are good for solving and their limitations

  - relevant case studies
