Granular materials

I am studying the interaction between granular material and continuous systems.
Granular materials like soil, powder and grains can be described as discrete material. Behavior of which is not fully understood yet as it can exists in all three states of matter depending on energy it possess. We have developed a code to simulate the interaction between grains, which has given results significantly comparable with experiments we have performed.
Considering the transportation problem of this material, we have chosen to work on its interaction with continuous systems such as conveyor belts.
