Bucket Elevators - Discharge Behaviour in a DEM Simulation

[@robinyilmaz1155]

Good stuff! Would have really liked to see the version with a better bucket design though!

[@spitsyn.andrey]

Thank you! Looking forward for CFD-DEM Coupled simulation part 3.

[@VitoCalabrese-e7b]

Really nice simulation, please let me see how it does continue...thanks !

[@IstasPumaNevada]

I really enjoyed this and would like to see the final results.

[@rojinathan2457]

Thanks for the informative message, I could clearly understand the working principle of the bucket elevator. Thanks a lot!

[@KyleMoon478]

Can you please make the simulation available on your website.

[@victoryakeh2818]

Would love to see the final results

[@alwiwibawa2946]

Finally video that I've been looking for!! Great job!! Hopefully you can give me some tutorial

[@treadless_co]

Please share the updated geometry video! (Or, is the updated bucket angle shown at 0:19?)

[@paulanderson262]

I find this very fascinating, I was wondering if the shape of the bucket would make a difference? It would be interesting if the bucket was sloped less than 90 degrees to the belt. Would it discharge more completely and sooner? Thanks again

[@engineerdo6568]

It depends a lot on shape, friction values, the bulk material properties and centrifugal acceleration...

[@arty2k]

What if the buckets were not fixed but instead a swing and the contents were tipped?

[@Indonesia01ian]

Hi, do you know how to do validation in DEM software? I am new in ROCKY DEM. In case of Ansys Fluent, normally we use several parameters such as Residual Value, Conservation of Mass and Energy, Mesh Independency Test and Iteration test. How about DEM? Could you please inform it to us Thank you so much for your help and support

[@nam-tran-bulk]

DEM codes like Rocky does not have an inherent way to track the sanity of a simulation like residual monitoring in CFD. What engineers need to do is to compare a DEM material model with a smaller scale calibration experiment and make sure the parameters can produce the same bulk behaviour in the experiment. If you are using Rocky then there should be the Calibration Suite that you can refer to.

Tres bien. Meci. Have you tried to change the geometrie of the buckets?

[@khetebhaloporomanno]

Did u show the final results?

[@wseeweeeessw]

I'm having that problem I get to much sand back after 110 tons per hour and overloading my motor

[@tommybaier784]

Leider keine Kontaktdaten... Tja ich hätte eine grandiose Idee muss ich wohl mit wem anderen machen schade...

[@davidcorrea1663]

Thank you, for another great video!!

[@narimanmozaffari9455]

Hi, i want to model a real elavator that i had designed and got a problem Can you please help me?

[@engineerdo6568]

Probably. Please go to engineerdo.com and write me an E-Mail with your specifications of your simulation model. We can offer custom simulations to you.

[@narimanmozaffari9455]

hi by which software did you analyse this model?

[@engineerdo6568]

Its called Liggghts

[@wazjebk]

Hi, would like to see final result - very nice video - I like your channel.

[@engineerdo6568]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@007aha1]

really interesting video

[@ashrafashour-ni2wy]

I need final

[@moritzmoritz1314]

Hallo Henrig, finde deine Videos echt gut. Womit machst du eigentlich deine Animationen für KZbin?

[@engineerdo6568]

Paraview and the universal tool for every engineer: PowerPoint

[@woodzyfox4735]

your missing One key aspect with the lifts, real world lifts have a slight negative (-5) tilt back on the top side to help dump more on the down stroke in to the funnel this will prevent items form returning at a much higher rate. I fix these for a living, its real trust me :) Think of it as a inverted drop roller coster

[@engineerdo6568]

To clarify: are the buckets tilted backwards on the belt?

[@kevinsmith5616]

Very interesting and informative.

[@mozzbiesharp3728]

Very informative, thank you.

[@engineerdo6568]

Glad it was helpful!

[@KyleMoon478]

Great video!

[@vincentbuysang7751]

What the name of this software?

[@engineerdo6568]

Hey Vincent, the name of the software is LIGGGHTS

[@santosobagoes]

nice content… thx
