Hopper flows of mixtures of spherical and rod‐like particles via the multisphere method
Abstract
Abstract The discharge of granular media from hoppers plays a vital role in many solids handling operations. The dynamic flow of poly‐disperse nonspherical particles differs markedly from mono‐disperse spheres and highlights the need to rigorously account for particle shape effects. The multisphere discrete element method (MS‐DEM) was utilized here to examine the bulk packing fraction, discharge rate, collisional stress tensor, and order parameter of a bi‐disperse sphere‐rod mixture evacuating a hopper. A modified form of the Myers and Sellers correlation with variable shape factor is capable of replicating the MS‐DEM discharge data. The collisional stress tensor is observed to be highly symmetric for mono‐disperse spheres but becomes asymmetric when rod‐like particles are introduced. The order parameter within the hopper increases significantly during discharge and the rod‐like particles undergo shear induced alignment with their long dimensions orthogonal to the outflow plane.
