Influence of gravity on a granular Maxwell's demon experiment.
In the usual description of the granular Maxwell's demon experiment, where phase separation occurs due to an instability in the densities, the control parameter scales linearly with gravity. In this paper we investigate this scaling experimentally using the properties of diamagnetic particles in strong magnetic-field gradients to reduce and even balance gravitation. We find that phase separatio...
متن کاملParallel DEM Software for Simulation of Granular Media
The paper describes the development and performance of parallel algorithms for the discrete element method (DEM) software. Spatial domain decomposition strategy and message passing inter-processor communication have been implemented in the DEMMAT code for simulation of visco-elastic frictional granular media. The novel algorithm combining link-cells for contact detection, the static domain deco...
متن کاملDEM-CFD modeling and simulation of granular systems
Size reduction process is widely used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Jetmill is one of the most commonly used tool for such processes due to advantages they over other mills such as low contamination and narrow product size distribution. However the efficiency of the jet milling process is very low, furthermore the jet-milling process is sensitive to many parameters such as feed...
متن کاملMechanical Simulation of Granular Materials by DEM Analysis
A study of four constitutive contact models employed in discrete element analysis is presented. Most discrete element simulations employ simple contact models due to computational time constraints. However, few works are available in literature which evaluates the suitability of these simple models to simulate DEM applications. The influence of more complex models on bulk behavior is examined t...
متن کاملCreeping granular motion under variable gravity levels.
In a rotating tumbler that is more than one-half filled with a granular material, a core of material forms that should ideally rotate with the tumbler. However, the core rotates slightly faster than the tumbler (precession) and decreases in size (erosion). The precession and erosion of the core provide a measure of the creeping granular motion that occurs beneath a continuously flowing flat sur...
