Numerical simulation of particle flow behavior in a screw conveyor
We first focused on the particle flow pattern in the screw conveyor. The motion of the particles was fully controlled by the various forces acting on them, including the centrifugal force, gravity, and particle–particle and particle–wall interactions. Fig. 3 shows the motion of representative particles in the screw conveyor. The orange ...
