Numerical analysis of air effect on the powder flow dynamics in the FT4 Powder Rheometer

The FT4 powder rheometer of Freeman Technology is widely used nowadays in industry for characterisation of particle flow under dynamic conditions of shear strain rate. It measures the work (termed flow energy) required to penetrate a rotating impeller into a powder bed. However, little is known abou...
