Particulate Handling/Processing and Granular Systems (TWc)

#158 - Particle Tracking in Handling & Processing (TWC11)
Understanding a process is all about knowing where your particles have been, are, and are going to be! This session will demonstrate state of the art developments in tracking particles and flows to sub-millisecond and sub-millimetre resolutions, providing a showcase for techniques that can be used to probe fundamental laws of granular flow and investigate powder technology processes in "microscopic" detail.
Chair:Ricky Wildman
CoChair:Mark D. Shattuck
