Metrology Needs for Predicting Concrete Pumpability

Figure 4

Simulation of a vane rotating in granular material using the SPH based approach (here, the flow of suspended spherical particles in a non-Newtonian fluid matrix is modeled. Simulations were carried out using resources of the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility at Argonne National Laboratory. (Image was created with the assistance of William George and Stephen Satterfield of NIST)).
