Abstract
Academic and industrial research on the behaviour of granular material is increasingly supported by numerical simulations. Such simulation environments are not only a vital tool in design and analysis, but also a key link between physicists and engineers. This Topical Collection includes a range of papers that use simulation to study granular matter from the micro- and macroscopic behaviour of particles to the behaviour of large industrial or geomechanical systems. These contributions enhance our understanding of basic physical effects and processes such as heat transfer, agglomeration and screening but also give essential parameters for the simulation of industrial systems, or, at least, guide the strategies required to provide realistic simulation results. The collection focuses on the presentation of (a) new coupled simulation methods to consider the interaction of granular bodies with structural or fluid systems (b) new findings for the consideration of particle shape and particle size distributions within simulations, (c) acoustic wake agglomeration, and (d) gravitational flow in geomechanics.
