2 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 کاملNumerical Investigation of Fluid Mixing in a Micro-Channel Mixer with Two Rotating Stirrers by Using the Incompressible SPH Method
Fluid mixing is a crucial and challenging process for microfluidic systems, which are widely used in biochemical processes. Because of their fast performance, active micromixers that use stirrer blades are considered for biological applications. In the present study, by using a robust and convenient Incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (ISPH) method, miscible mix...

A new approach to calculate the axially symmetric binary gas flow is proposed Dalton’s law for partial pressures contributed by each species of a binary gas mixture (argon and helium) is incorporated into numerical simulation of rarefied axially symmetric flow inside a rotating cylinder using the time relaxed Monte-Carlo (TRMC) scheme and the direct simulation Monte-Carlo (DSMC) method. The res...
متن کاملStreamline jumping: a mixing mechanism.
We study a singular limit of tumbled granular flows in quasi-two-dimensional rotating drums, demonstrating that the limiting dynamical system, as the shear layer vanishes, belongs to a class of discrete discontinuous mappings called piecewise isometries. In doing so, we identify a mechanism of mixing, in the absence of the usual streamline crossing mediated by the flowing layer. By considering ...
متن کاملAvalanche Mixing of Granular Solids
– Mixing of two fractions of a granular material in a slowly rotating two-dimensional drum is considered. The rotation is around the axis of the upright drum. The drum is filled partially, and mixing occurs only at a free surface of the material. We propose a simple theory of the mixing process which describes a real experiment surprisingly well. The dependence of the mixing time on the drum fi...
