Understanding and modelling the dynamic behaviour of particulate systems has been a
major research focus worldwide for many years. Discrete particle simulation plays an …

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 …

Numerical simulation, also known as computer simulation, uses an electronic computer to
investigate and solve engineering problems, physical problems, and a wide range of other …

This paper quantitatively and qualitatively evaluates the mixture and segregation processes
in an unbaffled rotary drum induced by particle size and density differences. We also …

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 …

Granular materials segregate by size under shear, and the ability to quantitatively predict the
time required to achieve complete segregation is a key test of our understanding of the …

Particles with different properties such as size and shape in rotating drums tend to segregate
axially to different sections. In this work, we report an interesting phenomenon that for …

In this paper, we study the effects of the presence and shape of side walls and of the overall
length of rotating cylindrical drums on the mixing of particles with differing sizes by …

Abstract The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is used to study the segregation of a binary
mixture of differing density (but same size) granular material in an axially rotating cylinder …

In this paper we present a model to predict the onset and evolution of segregation during the
discharge of binary mixtures of granular materials. The model accounts for the multi-phase …
