Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Description Sheffield-Purdue collaboration on granulation modelling 
Organisation Purdue University
Country United States 
Sector Academic/University 
PI Contribution We helped develop the framework for granulation compartment model and performed validation experiments in the laboratory at Sheffield.
Collaborator Contribution Through the grant, Professor Litster from Purdue University was a visiting research scientist at Sheffield to establish an ongoing collaboration. One of Professor Litster's PhD students, Nathan Davis, visited Sheffield for three months in October-December 2013 at Purdue's expense and continues to work with Sheffield staff on developing DEM models for granulation. Another Purdue student, Dan Pohlman, has implemented the model in the commercial software, gSOLIDS>
Impact Co-authored conference presentations and paper (see publication list) with further outputs to come. A new granulation model implemented in the commercial software, gSOLIDS.
Start Year 2013
