Modeling the Mixing of High Concentrations of Bidisperse Cohesive Particles in an Inviscid Binder II

Abstract

Funding for this program was provided by the Nanoenergetics Initiative of the Nanoscience and Technology Strategic Technology Thrust. This document provides the description of model development to simulate the mixing process of cohesive particles with the variety of system parameters to determine their effect on mixtures' homogeneity. The simulation technique known as discrete element model/method (DEM) is used to replace complex mising procedures with simple plane shear flow with only one species and one size/density being examined. Additional assumptions are made to simplify the binder fluid density and viscosity at this point in the development of the model with great detail planned.
