Abstract

A continuum model of the flow of granular material during silo filling using a viscoplastic constitutive relation is presented in this paper. The constitutive model is based on the Drucker-Prager plasticity yield function. The simulation results give a realistic representation of complex features of granular flows during filling processes, such as heap formation and non-zero inclination angle of the material-air interface. The model is also coupled within the same framework with novel micro-mechanical parametrisations and the process of segregation during filling of granular mixtures can also be modelled.
