Reference number : GC-2017-Q3-00516, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Martinez, Mark (The University of British Columbia), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : British Columbia|Colombie-Britannique, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : Mining is one of Canada's largest export industries. This research is directly aimed at improving the_x000D_
competitiveness of a Canadian engineering consulting company through a better understanding of the_x000D_
behaviour of slurries for the mining industry during transport in full, or partially-full, pipes. The goal of the_x000D_
work is to create both numerical simulations and experimental flow visualizations of poly-disperse,_x000D_
non-Brownian suspension during gravity settling and pipe transport. This is the first phase of a potential 2.5_x000D_
year collaborative program with Fluor Canada Ltd. Here, we will evaluate the potential of using both advanced_x000D_
numerical and experimental techniques, currently available at UBC, to characterize the settling behavior of_x000D_
suspensions applicable to the mining industry. Successful completion of the ENGAGE grant will lead to a_x000D_
