Modeling Granular Flow with COMSOL Multiphysics®

Granular materials such as powders, pellets, and grains play a critical role in many industrial processes, including pharmaceutical manufacturing, chemical processing, mining, agriculture, and additive manufacturing

Explicit dynamics provides a powerful and efficient approach for simulating high-speed, short-duration events with strong nonlinear behavior, such as impacts and crash scenarios. By advancing the solution in time without enforcing global equilibrium at every step, explicit dynamics enables fast and robust computations.
