Increasing of horizontal velocity of particles leaving a belt conveyor

Increasing of horizontal velocity of particles leaving a belt conveyor

We investigate the transport of granular materials by a conveyor belt via numerical simulations. We report an unusual increasing of particles horizontal velocity when they leave the belt and initiate free-fall. Using Discrete Elements Method, the mechanism underlying this phenomenon were investigate...
