Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Granular materials widely encountered in industry and in nature can range in size from nanometres to centimetres; some examples are salt, sugar, sand, soils, mineral ores, agricultural grains and many industrial solids. Granular materials show unique behaviour that is different from solids and fluids. Understanding and modelling the dynamic behaviour of granular materials has been a major research focus worldwide for many years. Various physical and numerical experiments have been conducted to understand the features and the relevant mechanisms for different granular materials and processes at various scales. These studies have the potential to develop general theories and improve the design capacity for particulate and multiphase processing.
This special issue entitled “Dynamic Modelling and Simulation of Granular Materials in Multiphase Systems” seeks high-quality research focusing on the experimental and numerical studies on granular materials and processes. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Granular flow;
- Simulation/modelling of granular materials;
- Particle–fluid flow
- Processing and handling of bulk/particulate materials;
- Powder/particle technology;
- Dynamics of granular materials;
- Particle properties.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
