Simulate solids flow faster than ever

| By Chemical Engineering

CoRheoGrain is part of the CoRheoS Software Suite, which enables the simulation of industrial-scale processes involving various types of grains and powders. A novel approach makes it possible to simulate the flow of granular material in computer times much faster than those of any DEM software, claims the institute. Both rapid granular processes and slow and arresting granular material can be simulated. Applications include simulations of mixing, powder injection molding and bulk-material transport. — Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics, Kaiserslautern, Germany
