Rocky DEM

Ansys Rocky for Slurry Flows

Understanding slurry flows is crucial for applications such as mining and mineral processing, chemical manufacturing, wastewater treatment, agriculture and many more. Ansys Rocky DEM can help to accurately predict the behavious of a slurry by simulating the size and shape of the solid particles, the types of solids present, the viscosity of the liquid and the concentration of the solids in the liquid.

This article explains how Rocky DEM empowers you to model slurry flows – from mills to open channels – and gain a clear understanding of particle-fluid interactions with remarkable accuracy.

Whether you’re tackling complex particle interactions or optimising your designs, the aim of this article is to equip you with the tools to elevate your projects and drive innovation.

Rocky DEM for Heavy Equipment Design

For engineers working in heavy equipment design, the ability to analyse and predict the behaviours and responses of structures in varying operating conditions is critical to ensure both safety and optimal equipment performance. At LEAP, our decades of experience with DEM has put us in the perfect position to help our customers to implement Ansys Rocky DEM, coupled with Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) solvers. This article explores the various ways that Ansys Rocky can be combined with other tools within the Ansys product portfolio, to deliver higher fidelity simulations – with a focus on the heavy equipment industry.

Guest Blog: Designing optimal wear liners with Ansys Rocky

This guest blog by Dr Daniel Grasser, Consulting Engineer at TUNRA Bulk Solids, Australia provides detailed insight into his DEM studies into reducing wear in bulk materials handling equipment during his affiliation with the ARC Training Centre in Alloy Innovation for Mining Efficiency (mineAlloy) at Deakin University. Learn how Dr Grasser utilised Ansys Rocky to better understand particle flow to improve and optimise the design of wear liners while reducing the need for experimental testing.
