Sedimentation of arbitrary shaped particles
In this project the sedimentation behaviour of arbitrary shaped particles which cannot be described by simple analytical equations is investigated. Considered are dilute as well as concentrated suspensions. For the simulations a new developed homogenised Lattice Boltzmann method is applied. The influence of the particles' shapes on the behaviour of the whole suspension is studied, aiming at the development of new models to improve the prediction of sedimentation processes.
