DEM study on the discharge characteristics of lognormal particle size distributions from a conical hopper

This study employs the discrete element method (DEM) to investigate the impact of the widths of lognormal particle size distributions (PSDs) with the same mean particle diameter on hopper discharge behaviors, namely, discharge rate, particle velocities, and size‐segregation. Results reveal that (i)...
