Title: | Effect of geometric base roughness on size segregation | Authors: | Jing, L Kwok, CY Leung, YF Sobral, YD |
Issue Date: | 2017 | Source: | EPJ web of conferences, 2017, v. 140, 03056, p. 1-4 | Abstract: | The geometric roughness at boundaries has a profound impact on the dynamics of granular flows. For a bumpy base made of fixed particles, two major factors have been separately studied in the literature, namely, the size and spatial distribution of base particles. A recent work (Jing et al. 2016) has proposed a roughness indicator Ra, which combines both factors for any arbitrary bumpy base comprising equally-sized spheres. It is shown in mono-disperse flows that as Ra increases, a transition occurs from slip (Ra <MergeCell 0.51) to non-slip (Ra >MergeCell 0.62) conditions. This work focuses on such a phase transition in bi-disperse flows, in which Ra can be a function of time. As size segregation takes place, large particles migrate away from the bottom, leading to a variation of size ratio between flow- and base-particles. As a result, base roughness Ra evolves with the progress of segregation. Consistent with the slip/non-slip transition in mono-disperse flows, basal sliding arises at low values of Ra and the development of segregation might be affectedMergeCell when Ra increases to a certain level (Ra >MergeCell 0.62), non-slip condition is respected. This work extends the validity of Ra to bi-disperse flows, which can be used to understand the geometric boundary effect during segregation. | Publisher: | EDP Sciences | Journal: | EPJ web of conferences | ISSN: | 2101-6275 | DOI: | 10.1051/epjconf/201714003056 | Description: | 8th International Conference on Micromechanics on Granular Media, Powders and Grains 2017, 3 - 7 July 2017 | Rights: | © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences.
