Author:Govender, NicolinDate:May 2013This paper introduces the BLAZE-DEM code that is based on the Discrete Element Method (DEM) and specifically targeted for Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) platforms. BLAZE-DEM uses actual polyhedral particle representations as opposed to ...Read more
Author:Govender, Nicolin; Wilke, DN; Kok, S; Els, RDate:2013Understanding the dynamical behavior of Granular Media (GM) is extremely important to many industrial processes. Thus simulating the dynamics of GMis critical in the design and optimization of such processes. However, the dynamics of GM is ...Read more
Author:Govender, Nicolin; Rajamani, RK; Kok, S; Wilke, DNDate:Aug 2015The Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulation of charge motion in ball, semi autogenous (SAG) and autogenous mills has advanced to a stage where the effects of lifter design, power draft and product size can be evaluated with sufficient accuracy ...Read more
Author:Govender, Nicolin; Pizette, P; Wilke, DN; Abriak, NDate:Sep 2015Understanding the dynamical behavior of particulate materials is extremely important to many industrial processes, with typical applications that range from hopper flows in agriculture to tumbling mills in the mining industry.
