Job description
This four-year PhD project aims at developing a new approach in modelling the interaction of behaviour of bulk materials and their handling equipment (such as conveyor belt systems, unloading and loading systems). This will be done by computer simulation using the Discrete Element Method grounded in experimental and/or field research to support and validate the simulations. This project will provide new insights into the behaviour of material in interaction with equipment.

These insights will result in an applicable, tailor-made design tool for bulk materials handling equipment with a focus on efficiency, sustainability and environmental aspects. In addition, this research will contribute to the validation and development of the existing Discrete Element Method simulation models. The project will be carried out in close cooperation with Dutch industry and other universities.The research will be completed by submitting a PhD thesis at Delft University of Technology.
