Rotating-drum flows span a variety of research areas, ranging from physics of granular
matter through hydrodynamics of suspensions to pure liquid coating flows. Recent years …

Accurate continuum models of flow and segregation of dense granular flows are now
possible. This is the result of extensive comparisons, over the last several years, of computer …

Mixing processes occur in many technological and natural applications, with length and time
scales ranging from the very small to the very large. The diversity of problems can give rise …

The physics of granular matter is one of the big questions in science. Granular matter serves
as a prototype of collective systems far from equilibrium and fundamental questions remain …

It is well known that a mixture of different sized particles will segregate in a gravitational field.
However, it has only recently been shown that a gradient of shear rate alone can drive …

It is well-known that in a dense, gravity-driven flow, large particles typically rise to the top
relative to smaller equal-density particles. In dense flows, this has historically been attributed …

Mathematical modelling is very useful for realizing a full-scale simulation of the ironmaking
process in a blast furnace (BF). A continuum model is proposed for this purpose here, which …

The impact of particle properties on segregation and mixing of bidisperse granular beds in a
rotating horizontal drum have been studied by discrete element method (DEM) simulations …

Abstract Baffles with shape of “–”(single baffle),“+”(cross-baffles with four arms) and
“*”(baffles with 6 arms) are used to enhance the mixing of particles in a rotating drum mixer …

Binary powder mixtures with variable segregation tendencies were “mixed” in a tumbling
batch blender and in a continuous convective tubular blender. The degree of homogeneity …
