EFCE Working Party on Mechanics of Particulate Solids 

Validation of Discrete Element Modeling

      
EFCE Working Party Mechanics of  Particulate Solids
PARDEM Workshop on Discrete Element Modeling at the PARTEC
27-28 March 2007, Nuremberg, Germany      
  

Discrete Element Modeling (DEM) is currently been used extensively in bulk solids handling research. Therefore the EFCE Working Party Mechanics of Particulate Solids (WPMPS) has joined forces with PARTEC to make DEM one special focus during the conference in Nuremberg. The workshop on DEM will be co-chaired by Profs. S. Luding (Delft), J. Ooi (Edinburgh) and U. Tuzun (Surrey). It will run on Tuesday 27.03.2007 and Wednesday 28.03.2007 starting 13.00hrs either day in room COPENHAGEN of the conference center.

Discrete Element Modeling (DEM) is currently been used extensively in bulk solids handling research. It can provide much deeper insight into the processes on the particle level, but on the other hand a number of significant issues of appropriate experimental validation and limitations of the computational power requirement to deal with a broad range of industrial applications still remain unresolved. Therefore the EFCE Working Party Mechanics of Particulate Solids (WPMPS) has joined forces with ChoPS-05 to make DEM one special focus during the conference in Sorrento. ChoPS-05 will have two regular sessions, a poster session and a plenary lecture by Prof. Stefan Luding, TU Delft devoted to DEM. In addition WPMPS will run a workshop on DEM co-chaired by Profs. S. Luding (Delft), J. Ooi (Edinburgh) and U. Tuzun (Surrey) during the conference. The workshop will aim to explore issues mentioned above with participants from industry and academia.
