Free Webinar: Powder Characterization for Accurate Calibration of Discrete Element Method Simulations  - 18 April 2023, from 4 PM to 5 PM (CEST)

Powder Characterization for Accurate Calibration of Discrete Element Method Simulations

Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations provide detailed representations of particulate processes, considering all particle-particle and particle-geometry interactions. DEM has been used to model different industrial process, from blending, powder conveying and tabletting.

To have detailed and accurate representation of the real material, a proper calibration of the DEM model parameters is essential. However, linking the material properties to the DEM model parameters is still challenging today. One promising method to achieve this goal is the use of digital twins, a virtual representation of well-defined powder characterization methods.

In this webinar, we will introduce two digital twins of powder characterization tools:

• A static angle of repose tester, the GranuHeap
• A dynamic angle of repose, the GranuDrum

We will show how the use digital twins in combination with a characterization of the real material allows to improve the accuracy and reliability of the calibration procedure.

What you will learn: 

• What is the potential of DEM for industries?
• Why rigorous calibration of DEM is crucial?
• How does Granutools equipment calibrate DEM simulations of real materials?
• How do Granutools instruments provide deeper insights into the cohesive properties of the materials?
• How does DEM calibrated with Granutools instruments monitor and predict process performance?
