颗粒尺寸对压实多分散颗粒体接触力分布的影响

为了研究多分散颗粒体的接触力分布规律,预估颗粒体中颗粒破碎的分布范围,采用颗粒流离散元法(discrete element method,DEM)构建不同颗粒级配(分散度)的颗粒体,对土体的三轴压缩试验进行模拟,以研究颗粒粒径对颗粒体接触力分布的影响。通过分析不同颗粒级配试样中法向接触力的概率密度分布和累积分布,对比不同颗粒级配试样中具有相同粒径的子颗粒集的配位数分布和最大接触力,调查了颗粒级配对密实颗粒体接触力分布特性的影响。结果表明:试样中粒径较大的颗粒相比于小粒径颗粒,试样中粒径较大的颗粒会承受更大的接触力;粒径较小的子颗粒集相比于粒径较大的颗粒体具有较小的最大接触力和配位数;细颗粒倾向于分布在大颗粒包围的孔隙中,此时,细颗粒基本上不参与传递接触力;颗粒级配越好,颗粒粒径对接触力分布的影响越小。

Non-Gaussian and Clustering Behavior in One-Dimensional Polydisperse Granular Gas System

We present a one-dimensional dynamic model of polydisperse granular mixture with the fractal characteristic of the particle size distribution, in which the particles are subject to inelastic mutual collisions and are driven by Gaussian white noise. The inhomogeneity of the particle size distribution is described by a fractal dimension D. The stationary state that the mixture reaches is the result of the balance between energy dissipation and energy injection. By molecular dynamics simulations, we have mainly studied how the inhomogeneity of the particle size distribution and the inelasticity of collisions influence the velocity distribution and distribution of interparticle spacing in the steady-state. The simulation results indicate that, in the inelasticity case, the velocity distribution strongly deviates from the Gaussian one and the system has a strong spatial clustering. Thus the inhomogeneity and the inelasticity have great effacts on the velocity distribution and distribution of interparticle spacing. The quantitative information of the non-Gaussian velocity distribution and that of clustering are respectively represented.

Transport phenomena for a spherical particle in pure extensional and simple shear flows

Particles(including solid particles,liquid drops and gas bubbles)are ubiquitous in a large number of natural processes as well as in industrial productions.Their behaviors are of fundamental importance in multiphase systems since the existence of such dispersed particles influences the momentum,mass and heat transport behaviors in these systems.Up to now,a vast body of literature has been published in dealing with the transport phenomena related to a particle surrounded by a fluid under various physical circumstances.In this paper,principal research results for the transport process of a single spherical particle in pure extensional and simple shear flows presented in the literature,including our recent work,are generally reviewed in order to give a comprehensive knowledge in this area.
