TWC01 Experimental Studies of Silo Loads and Flows
OverviewThere are still many challenges and unanswered questions in the design and operation relating to the storage and handling of bulk solids. Model and full scale experiments are often conducted to advance the understanding and to provide the required information for design and operation. This session calls for papers that report new scientific findings and technological advances in the experimental investigation of storage and handling of bulk solids.
