Rapid Poiseuilie Flow of Granular Materials

We solve the problem of rapid Poiseuille flow of a granular material in a pipe. The material is viewed as an incompressible continuum with a stress given by a Reiner-Rivlin type constitutive equation. Two material parameters appear in the constitutive equation. The magnitude of one of these paramete…read more

Transfer Chutes: Predicting Dust Emissions by Multiphase CFD and Coupled DEM-CFD Simulations

Dust emission is one of the main problems in the operation of transfer chutes. The design of the transfer chute heavily influences any potential dust generation. Although this influence is well known, much more attention is given to active dust suppression via water spray systems, the exhaustion of …read more

Determination of the Bulk Flexure Resistance via coupled FEM-DEM Simulation

The bulk material on a belt conveyor deforms itself due to the run through idler stations. The deformation results in energy losses which are summarised in the bulk solid flexure resistance. The right understanding of the interaction between bulk material and idler stations is important for the pred…read more

Maximising Coal Recovery in Open-Pit Mining – Reducing Coal-Fines-Production improves Cost Situation for Miners

High levels of coal fines in the ROM material result in higher costs for washing, lower recovery, reduced workplace safety and negative impacts on the downstream processes. Knowing where these coal fines come from and optimising the procedures along the process chain can yield significant savings. read more
