Abstract

The existing drag models are mostly based on the assumption of homogenous fluidization. However, the use of a homogeneous drag model to predict a heterogeneous granular flow system will cause a deviation. In this study, we developed a drag force model based on the assumption of heterogeneous fluidization. To prevent weakening of the heterogeneous characteristics in the drag force formula, we propose a finite average statistical method to filter the information of the heterogeneous granular cluster. The filtered information was used to fit the modified drag formula, which can reflect the heterogeneity of the granular cluster considering different configurations. A comparison shows that the new proposed drag formula filtered by the finite average statistical method fits well with energy minimization multi-scale simulation results.
