Study of Clogging Phenomenon for a Conical Hopper: The Influence of Particle Bed Height and Hopper Angle

The granular flow is one of the principal issues for the design of pebble bed reactors. Particularly, the clogging phenomenon raises an important issue for pebble bed reactors. In this paper, we conduct experiments and discrete particle simulation of two-dimensional discharge granular flow from a co...
