Abstract
Multi-physics modeling tools offer engineers a way to effectively and economically evaluate design options and optimize operating strategies for a variety of metallurgical and manufacturing processes. Many of these processes involve complex physical and chemical phenomena that are coupled and inter-related within the multi-physical domain. Two applications of multi-physics modeling are described: heap leach model (reactive dissolution and flow through a static porous bed) and effects of bubbles, droplets, and particles in metals reduction and refining.
