About this document

Packing Dynamics of Fine Particles by David Vidal is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document discusses a simulation of particle packing using the discrete element method. It finds that: 1) Packing porosity decreases with particle diameter, flow velocity, and gravity, but is not strongly affected by initial porosity. 2) Porosity changes over time and along the height due to rearrangement from vertical forces. 3) The adhesion and Stokes numbers determine three packing patterns - contact-holding, transition, and fast-rearrangement regimes.
