Original Kurzfassung:
The simulation of very dense particle regimes such as moving or fluidized beds requires a well determined coefficient of friction, which characterizes the inter-particle friction force. Starting from rough guide values available in the literature, we determine the exact parameters by fitting numerical simulations to experimental measurements of a simplified Jenike shear tester. The open-source, discrete-element-method code LIGGGHTS is capable to model com- plex geometries built of triangulated meshes. In addition to preloading the bulk solid in the shear cell by a required constant principal stress, a new wall type is enhanced by a controller prescribing the wall motion. A comprehensive sensitivity study shows that the results are nearly insensitive to the spa- tial dimensions of the shear tester as well as all other material parameters. Therefore, this set-up is applicable to determine the coefficient of friction. Finally, we calculate the coefficient of friction of glass beads showing very good agree- ment with literature data and in-house experiments. Hence, this procedure can be used to deduce material parameters for the numerical simulation of dense granular flows.
