Simulation of Bulk Powder
The flow properties and behavior of powders are at the high importance of numerous applications in the pharmaceutical, Chemical, food, and other process manufacturing industries. It therefore needs a deeper understanding on physical characteristics of powders to arrive efficiency, efficacy and challenges pertinent to its flow properties. Understanding powders’ flow behavior is critical to ensure accurate manufacturing results and avoid quality issues for the end product.
DEM approach in our application has proven accuracy with agreement and simulation of a range of powder applications, with key insights during processes.
One critical aspect in powder simulations using DEM is the formation of suitable virtual materials that emulates the behavior of the real material and their behavior during the process. This can be achieved by choosing appropriate input parameters and it is an important step in process of DEM simulations which shall address core factors affecting particle.
