One of the problems associated with any bulk-solid handling process is dust.
Smallest particles visible to the naked eye is about 60 micrometres. However, industrial airborne particles generally less than 10 micrometres are the most dangerous ones for our health. Therefore, industries need to comply with a specific dust threshold limit value (TLV).
In this simulation, we used Discrete Element Method (DEM) and Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) to predict the dust trajectory in a stockpile.
