Funded Activity Summary

Particle transport in turbulent non-Newtonian suspensions in self formed open channels. An improved understanding of the fundamentals of channel formation and the ability of channels to transport solids in either a natural or created environment will be of benefit to industries employing open channels (or flumes) or stacked tailings as part of their processes. This will lead to better design and operation with reduced water use and reduced volume of waste disposal. This research will build the scientific foundation for the design tools to more accurately predict the behaviour of tailings stacks. The mining industry will benefit from the improved management of their tailings disposal regimes, reduced water usage, lowered cost of disposal and reduced impact on the environment.
