摘要
通过引入液桥力模型,结合离散颗粒法(DEM),数值模拟了料仓中湿颗粒的流动,研究了液桥力对料仓内颗粒质量流率的影响.结果表明:对于干颗粒,满足不结拱的料仓开口度尺寸至少为颗粒直径的3倍,而湿颗粒则要求料仓开口度至少为颗粒直径的4倍;干颗粒由漏斗流向整体流转换的角度在45°左右,而湿颗粒的转换角度为40°左右.研究还发现液桥力对于小粒径颗粒的影响明显大于大粒径颗粒.在相同含水量的情况下,小颗粒更容易出现团聚,而不易分离.
With the aid of liquid bridge model, DEM(Discrete Element Method) and mathematical models, this paper simulates the flow of wet particles in a hopper to study the influence of liquid bridge on the flow patterns and flow rate. The research results show that usually the critical open diameter of a hopper for dry particles is more than 3 times of particle diameter, but no less than 4 times for wet particles. For dry particles, the hopper angle which causes transformation from funnel flow into mass flow is about 45°, while for wet particles it is about 40°. Moreover the effect of liquid bridge on small particles is more obvious than on big particles. With the same water content small particles are easier to aggregate than big particles.
