How to decide values for grain properties?

Submitted by gibel on Thu, 02/09/2023 - 05:24

Hello LIGGGHTS forum,

I am still confused about deciding proper grain kinematics for my simulation. Could I get some help?

I am using three different types of particles with radius 0.03, 0.02 and 0.01 (in si unit) for a drum like sagmil simulation (for test simulation only).
Currently I am defining poision ratio = 0.3, cofficient of restiturion=0.6, sliding friction = 0.2, rolling friction = 0.1.
Density of grain is 2500 kg/m3, fillmass = 120 kg.

I am defining fill parameters as follow: fill time = 5 sec, total rotating time = 100 sec, time for 1 rotaion i s5 sec.

timestep = 0.00001 second (Each iteration step).

My question are

1) Are these parameter correct for simulation.
2) How do I decide proper parameters for different size of grains?

Thank you.

Hi

You can vary the parameters and do the parametric study to conclude the range of values of each parameters which make physical sense with regard to your simulation !

Than you
