Particulate flows in engineering exist everywhere – fluidized beds, cyclone separators, coating, conveyors, roasters, etc. Whether lean or dense particle flows, Simcenter CFD simulation offers full particle-flow integration to maximize particle efficiency and distribution, minimize energy consumption, avoid excessive wear and abrasion, and optimize the overall performance.

By simulating realistic particle shapes accurately with proper particle motion and contact, engineers can ensure material handling performance. Unlike other tools, Simcenter offers coupled flow and particulate physics within one single simulation environment, significantly reducing simulation set-up effort. Offering both mesh-based and meshfree Discrete Element Methods (DEM) engineers can always choose the most suitable particle modeling approach.
