Granular Simulation Laboratory
Materials & Processes
Granular Simulation Laboratory
The Granular Simulation Laboratory develops digital and experimental approaches to modelling granular processes.
Digital simulation tools (Discrete Element Modelling – DEM – and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics – SPH) via High Performance Computing (HPC) are used to simulate large-scale or industrial-scale problems. Small-scale models are developed for experimental purposes to reproduce the physics of granular materials which manufacturers regularly encounter in their processes.
Equipment available:
GPU calculation code (graphics card) to simulate granular flows at large scales/industrial scales (discrete-element method and smoothed particle hydrodynamics approaches),
Small-scale model of granular flow process (drums or mixers, hoppers)
Equipment for characterising powder flow
PHANTOM very high speed camera and high performance computing (HPC) equipment
