Abstract

Pneumatic transport involves the movement of millions of particles in a confined space. To begin to understand this form of transport a detailed analysis of the behaviour of a single particle is necessary. From this basic understanding we can develop the more complex systems involving many particles with their interactions with each other and the confinement surface.
