Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
In recent years two strong schools of thought have developed about the computational modelling of particulate solids en masse. The first tries to model each particle individually, and to thus build up a picture of the complete system of particles. The second attempts to extend continuum mechanics to encompass the phenomena which are not easily represented by a continuum. Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages. No research group appears to be working on both types, and the relationship between them is poorly understood.This application seeks support for calculations to explore the relationship between discrete particle and continuum computational models of cohesionless particulate solids.The aims are to resolve differences between these two schools of thought; to establish the conditions under which each model type is relevant; to develop statistical techniques for the interpretation of discrete particle predictions so that continuum models can be established from them; and to provide rigorous guidance on the interpretation and use of discrete particle model predictions.
