Abstract

A proposed mathematical model of filling formation describes the evolution of the free surface of a filling and transport of cohesionless polydisperse granular material during some typical operations of bulk solids handling. The form of free surface is determined as a solution of an evolutionary variational inequality. Equations of material transport allow us to find the distribution of different materials inside the granular body and to take into account the free-surface segregation of polydisperse bulk material.
