Scope of the symposium
Granular materials (e.g. sand, powders and grains) are ubiquitous in nature, industry and our daily lives. Due to the ubiquity, understanding the static and dynamic behavior of granular materials from a fundamental perspective is an important topic that enters diverse scientific disciplines: From astrophysics to space exploration, from geoscience to additive manufacturing, from civil to chemical engineering. Although there has been a substantial progress in understanding the collective behavior of granular particles from the fundamental perspective of ‘phase transitions’, describing granular materials as a continuum still remains a challenge. The goal of this symposium is to strengthen existing connections and to promote new collaborations between German and Chinese researchers working in this field for a better understanding, predicting, controlling and eventually designing the static and dynamic behavior of granular materials.
