moving particles

research lab at the University of Edinburgh

our expertise

We build bespoke modelling tools designed to answer fundamental questions about the dynamics of particulate systems. Our work is at the interface of soft matter physics and chemical engineering.

Suspension rheology

Linking micromechanics to bulk flow behaviour via particle-based simulation.

rheology simulator

Colloidal gelation

Understanding network formation and percolation in systems of attractive particles.

gelation simulator

Continuum modelling

Encoding microscopic details into constitutive models for large-scale simulation.

couette simulator

Applications

Understanding the fundamentals of extrusion, milling, crystallisation and other industrial unit ops.
