Radial Segregation in a Two-Dimensional Rotating Drum
نویسندگان
چکیده
We simulate the size segregation of a binary mixture of granular material in a half filled two-dimensional rotating drum using the discrete elements method with linear contact forces. The dynamics of the segregation process is studied in detail as function of the angular velocity of the drum. We propose an order parameter to characterize the final amount of segregation and the segregation speed which allows to compare systems of different sizes and with different material properties. We demonstrate its usefulness by investigating its time dependence as function of the angular velocity of the drum and discuss the interplay between the thickness of the flowing layer and the mean particle velocity.

Size Segregation and Convection of Granular Mixtures Almost Completely Packed in the Rotating Thin Box
Size segregation of granular mixtures which are almost completely packed in a rotating drum is discussed with an effective simulation and a brief analysis. Instead of a 3D drum, we simulate 2D rotating thin box which is almost completely packed with granular mixtures. The phase inversion of radially segregated pattern which was found in a 3D experiment are qualitatively reproduced with this sim...

We formulate a phenomenological model for the segregation of binary mixtures of rough and smooth granular materials in a rotating drum. Our model successfully replicates a range of experimental behaviours, e.g., rapid radial segregation; slow axial segregation; and nonuniform radial structure of axial bands. We present some analytical results and detailed numerical results for our model.

We simulate size segregation in granular mixtures which are almost completely packed in a rotating drum. Instead of a 3D drum, we simulate a 2D thin rotating box which is almost completely packed with granular mixtures. The phase inversion of a radially segregated pattern which was found in a 3D experiment is qualitatively reproduced with this simulation. A global convection appears after a rad...
متن کاملRadial segregation patterns in rotating granular mixtures: waviness selection.
We model the radial segregation patterns that form in a thin rotating drum partially filled with beads of two sizes. We predict that the waviness (or amplitude-to-wavelength ratio, denoted w) of a pattern should be subjected to low-pass filtering with a cutoff waviness w(c) that depends strongly on the fill level of the drum. Then we perform experiments and find that w</=w(c) for all patterns, ...
متن کاملExperimental and Numerical Studies of Granular Flows in a Rotating Drum
Granular flow in a rotating drum is studied by experiments and by Computation Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The particulate phase is modelled based on the Continuum Eulerian Approach (CEA) in the simulation. The particulate phase CEA prediction using the common Gidaspow granular kinetic viscosity or the Syamlal-O’brien granular kinetic viscosity fails to predict the measured dynamic angle o...
