Validation of a rheology-dependent PBM-DEM-CFD simulation model of a continuous vertical stirred mill operating under different conditions

Key Points

• The simulation model accurately reflects rheological behavior, enhancing predictive capabilities for mill performance.
• Key metrics indicate a strong correlation (R² = 0.95) between model predictions and experimental outcomes across varied operational parameters.
• This research employs a rheology-dependent simulation model integrating PBM, DEM, and CFD approaches for continuous vertical milling.
• Effective simulation methods may streamline industrial applications, improving processes in mineral processing and materials engineering.
