title = "Impaction of particle streams on a granular bed",
abstract = "![CDATA[Impaction of particle streams on granular beds can be observed in various processes. One typical example is the burden distribution in an ironmaking blast furnace. The stream of heavy iron-bearing pellets impacts the pre-formed coke surface at the blast furnace throat region. The coke layer then can move and collapse. The formed burden profile is important in controlling the radial distribution of gas flow, and hence productivity and stability. In this paper, the impaction of pellets on the coke surface is investigated using discrete element method. A 90 degree sector is modelled with a pre-formed coke surface impacted by pellets flowing from a rotating chute. Microscopic analysis on the flow and force structures is carried out to examine the impaction with different chute angles and discharge rates.]]",
