The effect of particle cohesion, vibration parameters, and wall-particle friction conditions on
the mixing process of binary spherical particles in a vertical vibrating container were studied …

This paper is concerned with the response behaviour of a retaining wall in seismic
conditions from a two-dimensional perspective. The backfill was levelled behind the wall for …

In this paper, the effect of inlet flow type on fluidization of a gas-solid fluidized bed was
studied by using numerical simulations. Gas-solid fluidized beds are widely used in …

Understanding the relaxation process of driven dense granular materials is crucial to the
avalanche dynamics and earthquake triggering in geophysics. However, quantitative …

Vibration finishing has been widely used to improve aero-engine blades' surface quality and
service performance. However, there are still problems after processing, such as uneven …

The uniform mixing is necessary in many processes such as those used in pharmaceutical,
chemical and petrochemical industries. The present work studies the influence of vibration …

The uniform mixing of particles is crucial in many industrial applications. In industries, most
granular materials are nonspherical, with ellipsoids being a common deviation from the …

The effect of the shape of particles on mixing and segregation is studied in a vibrated
packed bed mixer. Binary mixtures (unequal sized) of four types of nonspherical glass …

Although the characterization and identification of solid particle-wall collision behaviours
within oil-conveying flows are important, these issues, which are closely associated with the …

Highlights•The mechanism of grain segregation is revealed.•Existence of convective rolls
reduces the effect of segregation.•Traditional device for agricultural sorting is simulated and …
