Modeling size segregation of bidisperse granular flow: the roles of segregation, advection, and diffusion
Segregation of granular materials composed of different-sized particles has important repercussions in various industrial processes and natural phenomena, but predicting size segregation remains a challenging problem. To address this problem, we have developed a theoretical model that captures the interplay between advection, segregation, and diffusion in size bidisperse granular materials. The...
متن کاملMixing and Segregation of Granular Materials
Granular materials segregate. Small differences in either size or density lead to flow-induced segregation, a complex phenomenon without parallel in fluids. Modeling of mixing and segregation processes requires the confluence of several tools, including continuum and discrete descriptions (particle dynamics, Monte Carlo simulations, cellular automata computations) and, often, considerable geome...
متن کاملModeling density segregation in flowing bidisperse granular materials
Preventing segregation in flowing granular mixtures is an ongoing challenge for industrial processes that involve the handling of bulk solids. A recent continuum-based modeling approach accurately predicts spatial concentration fields in a variety of flow geometries for mixtures varying in particle size. This approach captures the interplay between advection, diffusion, and segregation using ki...
متن کاملPredicting polydisperse granular segregation
Most granular materials in industrial applications and natural settings are size-polydisperse, but most models and simulations of segregation consider only bidisperse particle distributions. Here, we extend our recently developed theoretical advection–diffusion–segregation model to polydisperse particle distributions. To test the theoretical approach, we model and simulate grains log-normally d...
متن کاملCombined size and density segregation and mixing in noncircular tumblers.
Flowing granular materials segregate due to differences in particle size (driven by percolation) and density (driven by buoyancy). For noncircular tumblers the additional interaction between the segregation mechanisms and chaotic advection complicates the physics. Experiments are performed using a bi-disperse mixture of equal volumes of different sizes of steel and glass beads in a quasi-two-di...
