DEM study of the size-induced segregation dynamics of a ternary-size granular mixture in the rolling-regime rotating drum by Yang, Shiliang, Zhang, Liangqi, Luo, Kun, Chew, Jia Wei

“…In view of the ubiquitous continuous particle size distributions, this study builds on the considerable knowledge gained so far from binary-size mixtures and extends it to a ternary-size mixture to understand the impact of the presence of a third particle size in the three-dimensional rotating drum operating in the rolling flow regime. The discrete element method is employed. The evolution of segregation, the active-passive interface, and the dynamical response of the particle-scale characteristics of the different particle types in the two regions are investigated. …”
