Simulation the agglomeration process of solid particles in the presence of a viscous liquid. We are mostly interested in application to iron ore granulation in a horizontal rotating drum. In this work, we use Molecular Dynamics (MD) method to simulate the agglomeration process during the dense granular flows in the rotary drum. In which particles are distributed by an uniform distribution of particle volume fractions.
