two groups of particles with different sizes

Submitted by Zhenli on Mon, 10/29/2012 - 13:21

Hi, everybody

I am trying to modify the tutorial to simulate the segregation of particles with different sizes. I tried a simple problem, a block with 90X90X1000, I poured a group particles with a diameter of 0.003 mm from z=0 to 350 mm, and then the other group with a diameter of 0.005 mm from z=350 to 700 mm. The result looks like that the larger particles can not fall down beneath z=350 to mix with the smaller particles, so do the small particles. Could somebody help me to solve this problem? What is the mistake i did in this case?

Thanks a lot!
