  • Effect of bevelled silo outlet in the flow rate during discharge 

    Gago, Paula; Madrid, Marcos A.; Boettcher, Stefan; Blumenfeld, Raphael; King, Peter (2023-07-29)
    We investigate the effect of a bevelled (or slanted) outlet on the discharge rate of mono-sized spheres from a quasi-two-dimensional silo, using the discrete element method. In contrast to hopper discharges, where the ...
