Abstract Granular flow is commonly encountered in industry or nature, and is significantly affected by particle shapes. Super-quadric particles which can construct the geometric shape of irregular particles are simulated by the Discrete Element Method (DEM). In this study, the influence of aspect ratio and blockiness of particles on the flow characteristics is investigated, and the different discharge angles are used for different shaped particles to show the superposed effect of hopper configuration. Meanwhile, the Lacey mixing index is used to explore the effects of particle shapes on the mixing and motion of the granular system in a horizontal rotating drum.… More >
