A COUPLED CFD–DEM NUMERICAL STUDY OF THE AERODYNAMIC SORTING OF ZANTHOXYLUM BUNGEANUM SHELLS AND SEED-BEARING PARTICLES
This study presents a particle-scale coupled CFD–DEM numerical approach for elucidating aerodynamic sorting mechanisms and optimizing process parameters. Non-spherical particle models were developed to represent the geometric and physical differences between shells and seed-bearing particles. The Stokes number, which c...
