Granular flow through an aperture: pressure and flow rate are independent.
We simultaneously measure the flow rate and the normal force on the base, near the outlet, during the discharge through an orifice of a dense packing of monosized disks driven by a conveyor belt. We find that the normal force on the base decreases even when a constant flow rate is measured. In addition, we show, by changing the mass of the disks, that pressure can be changed while the flow rate...
متن کاملBottlenecks in granular flow: when does an obstacle increase the flow rate in an hourglass?
Bottlenecks occur in a wide range of situations from pedestrians, ants, cattle, and traffic flow to the transport of granular materials. We examine granular flow across a bottleneck using simulations of monodisperse disks. Contrary to expectations but consistent with previous work, we find that the flow rate across a bottleneck actually increases if an obstacle is optimally placed before it. Us...
متن کاملflow rate determination of granular material by using sound and multivariate data analysis
in this study, using sound created by wheat grain passing through a pipe, wheat flow rate was measured. the developed device consists of a hopper, metering device, sound sensor, delivery tube, dc motor and power supply. several wheat mass flow rates were tested and the sound signal created by the passage of the grain through the discharge tube was measured and transferred to a computer using da...
متن کاملMathematical Modeling of Flow in a Granular Permeable Bed Channel
In this research, a two-dimensional mathematical model using turbulence model was developed in a rectangular channel with granular permeable bed. Finite volume method was used for numerical solution of governing equations. The equations considered are discretized using Hybrid difference scheme while applying SIMPLE algorithm to correct velocity components in the continuity equation. In the dev...
متن کاملFlow of wet granular materials.
The transition from frictional to lubricated flows of a dense suspension of non-Brownian particles is studied. The pertinent parameter characterizing this transition is the Leighton number Le=eta(s)gamma / sigma, the ratio of lubrication to frictional forces. Le defines a critical shear rate below which no steady flow without localization exists. In the frictional regime the shear flow is local...
