Abstract
A robust finite element model is employed to study the viscous sinteri ng of three-dimensional, axisymmetric particles from several initial c onfigurations. Particle shape evolution and flow fields are presented which yield new insight into the behavior of these systems. The effect s of the initial particle size distribution and configuration are cons idered. Model predictions are validated by direct comparisons with exp erimental measurements.
