The Granular Science Laboratory carries out fundamental and applied research in the field of granular and multiphase flows that is motivated by applications and issues in the solids handling and processing industries (eg., chemicals, agriculture, mining, pharmaceuticals, plastics, materials). A comprehensive range of research activities is performed, including experiments, simulations and analytical modeling. The Lab is engaged in several interdisciplinary projects, among which are several current projects involving faculty from Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Mathematical Sciences.
