system. The central aim was to provide numerical tools for dynamic simulation of
interconnected solids processes. For this, dynamic models of various equipment and
machinery for solids processing are to be formulated and implemented.
Furthermore, methods for the numerical treatment of such systems and new models
for the description of solids properties shall be developed.
The research within SPP 1679 was classified into three research areas consisting
of 27 research projects from universities and research institutes from Germany:
(a), (b) models for the description of solids properties, (c) algorithms and process
simulation. Additionally, a separate Central Project (Z-project) was established. Its
goal was to develop a flowsheet modelling system, which should serve as a platform for combining the results of all these individual groups into a single framework. To allow for mostly independent model development and research, the
flowsheet simulation framework must provide high flexibility, extensible libraries
and stable interfaces. The resulting open-source modular modelling system
Dyssol—an acronym for “Dynamic simulation of solids processes”—offers these
features through its high degree of modularity, open and standardized interfaces,
efficient algorithms and a clear user interface.
This book summarizes the research results of this joint research project. The
research program SPP 1679 DYNSIM-FP has been steered by a committee, where
Prof. Stefan Heinrich, Hamburg, took over the coordination (spokesperson) and
was supported by Prof. Arno Kwade, Braunschweig (vice-spokesperson); Prof.
Heiko Briesen (vice-spokesperson), München; Prof. Wolfgang Peukert, Erlangen;
Prof. Matthias Kind, Karlsruhe; and Prof. Achim Kienle, Magdeburg. We want to
thank and greatly appreciate the DFG for financial support, and especially Dr.-Ing.
Bernd Giernoth, Dr.-Ing. Georg Bechtold, Dr. Simon Jörres and Ms. Anja Kleefuß
for their excellent coordination and continued support of the research activities. Of
course, the great success of the SPP 1679 would not have been possible without the
enthusiasm of all involved Ph.D. students and researchers and their excellent
contributions. Numerous workshops, most held in Hamburg, were the clamp of the
intensive cooperation within the several projects.
