This work assesses the accuracy of the discrete element method (DEM) for the simulation of
solids mixing using non‐intrusive Lagrangian radioactive particle tracking data, and …

A number of studies have modeled flow and mixing of granular materials using the discrete
element method (DEM). In an attempt to reduce computational costs, many of these DEM …

The use of a Young's modulus lower than its true value is commonly adopted in numerical
studies based on the discrete element method (DEM), in order to reduce the computational …

This study aims at unveiling the effect of particle shape on granular flow behavior. Discrete
element method is used to simulate cylindrical particles with different aspect ratios in the …

Over the past few years, the discrete element method (DEM) has been used in models for
the simulation of granular flows in various mixing applications. If these models have shown …

The mixing of solids is a fundamentally important unit operation in the pharmaceutical, food
and agricultural industries, as well as many others. The efficiency and quality of mixing can …

The impact of particle properties on segregation and mixing of bidisperse granular beds in a
rotating horizontal drum have been studied by discrete element method (DEM) simulations …

In this work, we experimentally and numerically investigated the mixing/segregation
behavior of particles in an unbaffled rotary drum. We analyzed different combinations of …

Understanding the flow and mixing of rod-like particles is fundamental because of the
widespread use of rods in the process industry. In this paper, discrete element method is …

The mechanisms of segregation in solids mixing, even in simple rotating drums, are not
clearly understood. Although most past studies have focused on binary mixtures, this work …
