eng Abstract:
This study investigates the impact of varying the particle–particle friction coefficient (ranging from 0.1 to 0.9) on segregation in a binary granular mixture. DEM simulations were conducted in a vertical cylindrical mixer equipped with dual-bladed stirrers pitched at 45°, operating at 150 rpm. The system included 36,800 particles (2 mm) and 400 particles (4 mm); the larger particles were initially placed either at the top or bottom of the bed.
