Fine powders and granular materials are extensively used in industrial applications. To manage and to enhance processing techniques, these materials have to be exactly characterized. The ...

A heap is created when a powder is poured onto a surface. It is widely known that both the heap shape and the repose angle strongly rely on grain properties. Specifically, a non-cohesive powder forms ...

The prediction of the angle of repose for raised mounds of dry cohesive granular material is a long-standing problem in the natural sciences and in industry. Using numerical (particle-based) ...

The processing of powders is involved in many applications in the food industry. The formulations of recipes typically require the blending of constituents with different properties in terms of ...

Fine powders and granular materials are used extensively in industrial applications. These materials have to be accurately characterized to control as well as improve the processing techniques. The ...
