Powders & Grains 2025 will cover a range of oral talks and posters addressing both fundamental and applied scientific problems in granular media and suspensions, including:
- Rheology and constitutive modelling of granular media
- Kinetic theory of granular materials: granular gas, gas-solid suspension with cohesive & charged particles
- Jamming, rigidity and shear-thickening transitions
- Polydispersity, segregation, and pattern formation
- Geophysical (sand dune, avalanche, ..), environmental (dust storm, aerosols,..) and planetary (accretion disk, impact cratering) granular processes
- Geomaterials (soil, rock, concrete & minerals)
- Particulate multiphase flows (fluidization, sediment transport, ..) and porous media
- Particle-based numerical methods (DEM, MD, DSMC, MPM, Fast Spectral with AI / ML Technique etc.)
- Experimental methods for granular mechanics
- Emerging topics: Additive manufacturing & metamaterials, microgravity, tribo-charging and active particles
- Any Others
