PhD project in order to extend a 3D DEM-CFD (two-phase) model which describes the contact charging of particles that are pneumatically conveyed through narrow channels. Challenges:- Validation experiments for which I needed to develop adaptation of the PIV algorithm.- Correct and efficient modelling of forces: The qualitatively poorly understood lift force and the inherently expensive electrostatic force.- Derivation of a contact charging model based on difficult single particle charging experiments; detailed knowledge of contact charging is still lacking in literature. Presentation:All work was published in highly ranked peer-reviewed journals and also orally presented at several international conferences. Planning: In order to bring the project to a good end, I needed to plan my activities carefully and I needed to do this in cooperation with several parties: industrial partners, academic partners in the Netherlands and Japan. Supervising and teaching: I developed supervising skills when I was supervising several students for their Bachelor graduation project. I also partook in educational tasks when I teached the instructions of 'Transport Phenomena' and 'Introduction to Chemical Engineering'.

The aim of the master project was to develop a 1D generation-propagation model of secondary flow that occurs due to curves in tubes. This 1D model was derived from 3D CFD (FEM) simulations of a variety of curved tubes. A 1D measure was proposed (enstrophy) together with a generation-propagation model to describe the secondary flow as function of time, Reynolds number and curvature ratio.
