Workshop on Numerical Modelling of Grains/Fluid Flows
Mixtures of grains and fluids are ubiquitous in industrial applications (e.g. fluidised beds, mixing or dense suspensions) as well as in geophysical events (e.g. mudflows, landslides, submarine avalanches etc.). Recent advances in numerical methods have made possible the simulation of large assemblies of individual grains immersed in a fluid.
The workshop on Numerical Modelling of Grains/Fluid mixture aims at firstly discussing the simulation methods available to date to examine the flow of discrete particles in a fluid and secondly at presenting the latest numerical results on the behaviour of such mixtures.
Registration is required before October 4th 2013 and is free of charge (although subject to availability).
