DEM Simulation To Study The Flow Of Granular Materials From Hopper In Air Media

Abstract The concept of discrete 26 numerical discrete element method DEM was studied for the effect of particle having circularnoncircular shapes for granular flow through the hoppers in the air media. Coal is here used as a granular material considering circularnon-circular shape and size for the computerized analysis. For this high-end mechanical engineering software was used as CATIA for 3D Modelling ANSYS ICEM CFD for Meshing 26 E-DEM for Modelling of particles and Simulation of the whole process to obtain the numerical result data and to find dispersed particle displacement. The study of the effect of particle shape size and density on the discharge flow rate of giving airflow.
