  2. 1. Continuum modelling of particle flows in high shear granulation

    Author : Per Abrahamsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; parameter study; High shear granulation; continuum modelling; resolution dependence; granular flow; compartment model; kinetic theory of granular flow;

    Abstract : High shear granulation is an important process in the pharmaceutical industry. The aim of the process is to produce granules with specific properties, like size and hardness, from powder mixtures. The properties of the granules are determined by the flow field in the mixer.

    Abstract : Gas-particle flow is encountered in a vast number of industrial operations and natural phenomena. Computational fluid dynamics plays an important role in practical engineering and fundamental research activities. READ MORE

  6. 4. Particle Methods for Modelling Granular Material Flow

    Author : Simon Larsson; Pär Jonsén; Hans-Åke Häggblad; Gustaf Gustafsson; Eugenio Oñate; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

    Abstract : Granular materials are very abundant in nature and are often used in industry, wherethe dynamics of granular material ow is of relevance in many processes. There arestrong economic and environmental incentives for increased eciency in handling andtransporting granular materials. READ MORE

  7. 5. Modelling and Simulation of Turbulent Gas-Solid Flows applied to Fluidization

    Author : Eric Peirano; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Eulerian models; fluidization; two-fluid model; two-phase flow; granular flow theory; turbulence; fluidized beds; gas-solid flows;

    Abstract : Modelling of gas-solid suspensions has been studied with emphasis on suitable closure laws. A study of characteristic time scales and energy dissipation mechanisms is made for the case of a simple shear flow. Applications of the modelling are presented in the form of simulation and validation of experiments in fluidized beds. READ MORE
