Summary
Simulation and characterisation of the packing of uniform non-spherical particles. The effect of particle shape on the packing of uniform particles is a fundamental problem in the study of granular materials and is also related to other important scientific problems. This project aims to solve this problem by an innovative computer simulation method, using virtual but insightful numerical results to build solid theories.

Summary
An advanced computational facility based on a graphic processing unit for particulate research. The graphic processing unit (GPU) is becoming an engine for the next generation of supercomputers for scientific research. The technology at this new facility will be exploited to perform large-scale, real time simulations of complex particulate material processing which is critical to Australia’s mineral/metallurgical/material industries.
