Abstract
In order to better understand the mechanism governing segregation in dense granular flows, the force experienced by a large particle embedded in a granular flow made of small particles is studied using discrete numerical simulations. Accurate force measurements have been obtained in a large range of flow parameters by trapping the large particle in a harmonic potential well to mimic an optical tweezer. Results show that positive or negative segregation lift forces (perpendicular to the shear) exist depending on the stress inhomogeneity. An empirical expression of the segregation force is proposed as a sum of a term proportional to the gradient of pressure and a term proportional to the gradient of shear stress, which both depend on the local friction and particle size ratio.
