Complex Flow of Granular Material in a Rotating Cylinder
Thorsten Poeschel, Volkhard Buchholtz
The flow of granular material in a rotating cylinder was simulated by molecular dynamics in two dimensions using spherical as well as nonspherical grains. At very low but constant…
Force Distribution and Comminution in Ball Mills
Volkhard Buchholtz, Thorsten Poeschel
The motion of granular material in a ball mill is investigated using molecular dynamics simulations in two dimensions. In agreement with experimental observations by Rothkegel [1]…
Simulation of rotating drum experiments using non-circular particles
Volkhard Buchholtz, Thorsten Poeschel, Hans-Juergen Tillemans
We investigate the flow of granular material in a rotating cylinder numerically using molecular dynamics in two dimensions. The particles are described by a new model which allows…
Molecular dynamics of arbitrarily shaped granular particles
Thorsten Poeschel, Volkhard Buchholtz
We propose a new model for the description of complex granular particles and their interaction in molecular dynamics simulations of granular material in two dimensions. The grains…
Avalanche statistics of sand heaps
Volkhard Buchholtz, Thorsten Poeschel
Large scale computer simulations are presented to investigate the avalanche statistics of sand piles using molecular dynamics. We could show that different methods of measurement l…
Molecular Dynamics of Comminution in Ball Mills
Volkhard Buchholtz, Jan A. Freund, Thorsten Poeschel
We investigate autogenous fragmentation of dry granular material in rotating cylinders using two-dimensional molecular dynamics. By evaluation of spatial force distributions achiev…
