SUMMARY:Visualizing a Particle-based Simulation of an Aggregate Drum Dryer
  for Hot Mix Asphalt Production
DESCRIPTION:Scientific Visualization & Data Analytics Showcase\n\nVisualiz
 ing a Particle-based Simulation of an Aggregate Drum Dryer for Hot Mix Asp
 halt Production\n\nGriffin, Hummel, Hobbs, Messmer, Leaf...\n\nAsphalt pav
 ement consists of various sizes of aggregates coated with liquid bitumen b
 inder and is commonly used for road construction.  Producing the asphalt m
 ixture involves heating and drying the aggregates in a rotary drum dryer b
 efore the bitumen is added.  This process is very energy intensive, so the
 rmal efficiency is a key consideration in equipment design. Using particle
 -based simulations engineers can investigate the effects of different drum
  geometries and process conditions to improve dryer efficiency.  Improveme
 nts to the drying process provide economic benefit to the plant operator i
 n the form of lower fuel costs as well as environmental benefits in reduce
 d emissions.  Visualizing the simulation data provides engineers with grea
 ter insight into the drying process and permits more effective and efficie
 nt designs.  In this explanatory visualization, we leverage several platfo
 rms and scientific visualization tools to illustrate the asphalt drying pr
 ocess in a very high-fidelity, photo-realistic animation.\n\nRegistration
