Granular flows

15 August 2023

Host Faculty: Engineering

General Subject Area: Chemical Engineering

Project Level: PhD

HOW TO APPLY
Granular flows

Granular material is the second most common material encountered in chemical engineering after water. Despite this, our understanding of granular flows is still limited. Chemical engineering processes that rely on granular solid handling are frequently beset by delays to start up and rarely achieve their design potential. This project seeks to address these challenges by improving our fundamental understanding of granular material flows. We use a combination of advanced numerical modelling and experimental measurements to test models of granular flow dynamics.
