Initially,the internal structure of dense granular flow,down vertical and inclined pipes was investigated using a twin sensor,12 electrode electrical capacitance tomography device.Subsequently,DEM simulations were conducted using the commercial software,PFC3D.Initially,two particle types and their flow behaviours were analysed:plastic pellets and sand.The pipe angle was varied between 0°and 45°to the vertical.For both the plastic pellets and the sand,good qualitative agreement was found with the spatial particle concentration analysis.Generally,the flow had a dense particle region at its core with the particle concentration reducing away from this core.As expected,at 0°, the core was centrally located within the pipe for both the plastic pellets and sand.At pipe angles 5°or greater,the dense core of particles was located on or near the pipe wall.Average flow velocity analysis was also conducted using the results of wall friction test analysis.The velocity comparisons also showed good agreement between the ECT image analysis and the DEM simulations. Subsequently,the DEM method was used to analyse a complex transfer system(or chute) with the continuum method providing comparative flow analysis with the DEM flow analysis.展开更多

This article looks into the concurrent effects of decreasing the chute angle and slope profile changes from a single slope to a double slope and the simultaneous latitudinal convergence of the chute structure on the cavitation index and the economy of project. In order to perform this research, the geometric specifications were collected of the dam, and the chute structure as well as those of a flood with a return period of 1000 years, which make up the basis of the spillway design. Taking advantage of the numerical WS77 model, different modes were simulated with a single slope, double slope with fixed latitude, double slope with latitudinal convergence, and the cavitation index and the excavation volumes for each option were calculated. The results indicated that a decrease in slope led to a rise in the cavitation index to over 1.2 and that the convergence of the chute structure positively affected the increase in the cavitation index.展开更多
