(SATURN CDT)Simulation of particle agglomeration, attrition and breakup for nuclear waste transport and retrieval processes

About the Project

The safe retrieval, transport and processing of radioactive waste slurries is one of the most significant engineering challenges in nuclear decommissioning. ... The outcomes will be a validated predictive simulation tool with direct relevance to decommissioning and waste management, together with fundamental new understanding of how particle-scale collision mechanics influence bulk transport behaviour in turbulent flows.
