Particulate Science and Engineering: Fundamentals and Applications

Catalog description

This survey course is designed for senior undergraduates and graduate students in the fields of MSE, CBE, and MAE. Previous experience in particulate systems is not required. The course will focus on recent advances in particulate science and engineering (PSE) and its applications, which are relevant to particulate systems in various product applications. Lectures will draw from state-of-the-art research and industrial practice. Review of phenomenological modelling and numerical simulation methods focusing on discrete element method (DEM), and Finite Element Modelling (FEM). Students will participate in assigned group projects.
