A study of the charge structure and energy utilisation in a Stirred Media Detritor using DEM-SPH by Ndimande, Conrad B

“…A two-way transient coupled Discrete Element Method (DEM) and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics model is used to achieve this. The ceramic grinding media is represented by the DEM component of the model, which is fully resolved, while the slurry (water and fine particles) is represented by the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) model. …”
