Investigations of flow and pressure in silos during filling and discharging in presence of inserts

Songxiong Ding

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of inserts on silo flow using finite element codes (SILO and Abaqus Code) and found that double cone inserts converted funnel flow to mass flow in a silo with a modest inclination hopper.

Powder Technology

TL;DR: In this paper, the internal pressure of perspex mass flow hoppers was studied using a radiopill receiving system. But the results were compared with the Jenike-Johanson theory, and the effects of stop/start operation and compaction of the fill material prior to the initiation of flow were also studied.
