Flow Case

Granular flow of steel beads from dilute flow to dense flow on an inclined two-dimensional channel is studied. The initial inflow Q0 is always a dilute flow. A transition from dilute to dense is observed when D≤Dc. In the dense flow the outflow rate (Q) depends only on opening (D), given by [Formula: see text]. For different inflow rate Q0 in the dilute flow case, the relation between the transition critical exit width (Dc) and the channel width (W) is given. And in larger inflow, the critical exit width is approximately in proportion to the square root of inflow rate, [Formula: see text].

The Relationship

when the ballast track stretch with the bridge, ballast which is near expansion joint will move confusedly. As a result, rail produced vertical deformation. The deformation will affect the running safety and comfortability of train. At present, there are two kinds of treatments which are cover board structure and baffle structure to deal ballast’s movement. Aiming at the different modes of stretching when the two kinds of structures and different arrangement condition of bridge plate are applied, the rail-sleeper-ballast discrete element model is developed by the method of two-dimensional granular flow. The relationship between rail deformation and bridge expansion is analyzed on the foundation of the model. Results show as flows: when bridge extends or shortens, rail always produced upwarp deformation. Bridge plate should arrange asymmetrically. Like this, the rail deformation decrease by 40%. And adopting the baffle structure can effectively reduce the influence of bridge expansion in ballast truck.

The granular flow is one of the principal issues for the design of pebble bed reactors. Particularly, the clogging phenomenon raises an important issue for pebble bed reactors. In this paper, we conduct experiments and discrete particle simulation of two-dimensional discharge granular flow from a conical hopper, to study the effect of the particle bed height h and hopper angle α on the clogging phenomenon. In general, the clogging probability J increases with height h and starts to saturate when h is larger than a critical value. The experimental result trends are supported by discrete simulations. To understand the underlying physical mechanism, we conduct discrete particle simulations for various h values, focusing on the following parameters: the statistical averaging of the volume fraction, velocity, and contact pressure of particles near the aperture during the discharge. We found that, among all relevant variables, the contact pressure of particles is the main cause of the increasement of J when h increases. An exponential law between the pebble bed h and clogging probability J has been established based on these observations and Janssen model. As for hopper angle α , J shows an almost constant behavior for any rise in α followed by a sudden regression at α = 75 ° . Surprisingly, the effect of α is most obvious for intermediate values of h , where we observe a sharp increasement of clogging probability. The same trend is observed in the two-dimensional discrete simulation results.
