- Predicting cohesive powder flow, as a function of particle properties and process dynamics, is the grand challenge for Particle Technology. This work addresses powder rheometry using numerical simulations based on coupled computational fluid dynamics and discrete element methods, with experimental validation. It proposes a new rheological model of powder flow that describes the work expended shearing a powder bed as a function of strain rate and pressure. It led to the EPSRC Virtual Formulation Laboratory (Grant EP/N025261/1) with the involvement of 15 companies (e.g. AstraZeneca, GSK, and P&G; emails on request) and developed a fully predictive toolkit for process design.
