颗粒体系的多尺度混合指数

摘要/Abstract

摘要：

对颗粒混合物均匀性的系统研究揭示了混合过程中显著的多尺度特征，特别是宏尺度上均匀的混合物在微尺度上可能表现为极度不均匀，反之亦然，同时采用不同的采样方法和混合指数表征同一混合物在同一尺度下的均匀性可能也会有所差异。尝试提出一种多尺度混合指数，即在不同尺度采用不同评价方法，并将混合指数表达为不同尺度上的分布，而不是在未定义尺度上的单一值。该多尺度表征方法可更精确与全面地反映混合物的均匀特性。

Abstract:

Systematic study of the homogeneity of particle mixtures reveals significant multiscale features in mixing process. In particular, homogenous mixtures at macro-scale may display severe heterogeneity at micro-scale, and vice versa. Meanwhile, different particle sampling methods and mixing indexes may yield significantly varied results for the same mixture at same scales. The results indicate that different mixing indices exhibit inconsistency at different scales. A multiscale mixing index using different methods at appropriate scales and characterizing the homogeneity as a distribution over different scales, rather than a single value at an undefined scale, is hence proposed and considered more precise and comprehensive.

Key words: granular systems, mixing, multiscale, discrete element modeling, Lacey index, relative standard deviation, macromixing, micromixing
