Discharge Characteristics of Different Shaped Particles from an Inclined Bottom Rectangular Hopper

In order to further explore the discharge characteristics of different shaped particles from the inclined bottom hopper, the discharge of four shaped particles from an inclined bottom rectangular hopper was studied based on the discrete element method (DEM). Non-spherical particles were established based on the multi-spheres method. The effects of geometric parameters, particle properties, and interaction parameters on discharge were...
