Transition to Centrifugal Particle Motion in Rotating Drums
نویسنده
چکیده
The dynamics and the transition to the centrifugal regime are studied analytically and numerically for particles in rotating drum. The importance of the particle-wall friction coefficient is demonstrated by studying first the motion of one non-rotating particle where three different regimes are found in the transition to the centrifugal motion. When a few rotating particles are considered, they behave similarly to one non-rotating particle in the low friction limit. A critical particle number is necessary to reach the centrifugal regime for which an analytic expression is derived in the limit of negligible inter-particle friction.

Inertial particle motion in a Taylor Couette rotating filter
In rotating filtration, which is based on supercritical cylindrical Couette flow with a rotating porous inner cylinder, the motion of particles in the suspension depends on both centrifugal sedimentation and transport due to the vortical motion of Taylor vortices. We have simulated the motion of dilute, rigid, spherical particles in Taylor Couette flow using computational particle tracking in a...

A ‘centrifugal force’ as experienced by particles in a centrifuge actually reflects the natural tendency of the particle to move in a straight line in the absence of external forces. If we view the experiment in the (fixed) reference frame of the laboratory, we observe that the particle is deflected from a linear trajectory by a centripetal force (directed toward the central axis of the rotor)....
متن کامل2 A Computational Model for Visco - Elastic
Particle diiusion in rotating drums is studied via computer simulations using a full 3-D model which does not involve any arbitrary input parameters. The diiusion coeecient for single-component systems agree qualitatively with previous experimental results. On the other hand, the diiusion coeecient for two-component systems is shown to be a highly nonlinear function of the rotation velocity. It...
متن کاملCalculation of Natural Frequencies of Bi-Layered Rotating Functionally Graded Cylindrical Shells
In this paper, an exact analytical solution for free vibration of rotating bi-layered cylindrical shell composed of two independent functionally graded layers was presented. The thicknesses of the shell layers were assumed to be equal and constant. The material properties of the constituents of bi-layered FGM cylindrical shell were graded in the thickness direction of the layers of the shell ac...
