Multi-Scale, Multi-Form Approach to the Modelling, Design and Control of Complex Particulate Processes

由于缺乏各种尺度的知识，以及模型形式和应用之间的适合性，许多颗粒过程存在高循环率和不稳定的问题。该项目将使用多尺度、多形式的方法开发从微观尺度到完整工厂尺度的完整模型层次结构。两个世界级团队的联合力量将解决复杂的交互问题，包括造粒基础、动态建模、工艺设计和先进控制。这项工作将使用创新的设计和基于模型的控制策略，显著提高各种工业颗粒物过程的生产率和质量。

Many particulate processes suffer from high recycle rates and instability due to lack of knowledge at various scale levels, and on the fitness between model forms and applications. This project will develop a complete model hierarchy ranging from the microscopic scale to full plant scale using a multi-scale, multi-form approach. The joint force of two world class teams will tackle the complex interaction problems covering granulation fundamentals, dynamic modelling, process design and advanced control. The work will lead to significantly improved productivity and quality for a wide range of industrial particulate processes using innovative design and model based control strategies.
