1 Constitutive model development for granular and porous materials and modelling of particulate processes Csaba Sinka Department of Engineering Mechanics of Materials Group Geophysics modelling meeting Leicester 27 May 2015

2 Area of research Relevance to geophysical modelling Discrete Element Modelling (DEM) coupled with Computational Fluid Mechanics (CFD) and Population Balance Modelling (PBM) Constitutive model development for granular and porous materials and implementation into finite element codes (FEA). Features: Large deformation with state evolution Coupled problems (stress, temperature, diffusion, fluid flow, chemical reaction) Swelling (polymers) Fracture and damage Currently main supervisor of 8 PhD projects The DEM-CFD-PBM models are used for: dense and dilute powder flow modelling in air particulate materials handling and processing relevant to volcano eruptions, avalanches and pyroclastic flows The continuum models are similar to constitutive models used in rock and soil mechanics: Cam-Clay, Mohr-Coulomb, Drucker-Prager cap Relevant to groundwater flow, oil well stimulation and reservoir modelling, coalbed methane, CO 2 sequestration, mudslides, etc. Accessed 06/06/ Accessed 06/06/2015
