Mixing of Bi-Dispersed Milli-Beads in a Rotary Drum. Mechanical Segregation Analyzed by Lab-Scale Experiments and DEM Simulation

Mechanical flow and segregation phenomena within a bed composed of milli-metric size spherical beads rotated in a horizontal drum were investigated. The beads population was bi-dispersed, with two kinds of binary (half by half) compositions: a bi-size bed with two different sizes and a bi-density be...
