Experimental Investigation of the Flow Pattern and Wall Pressure Distribution in a Silo with a Double‐Cone Insert
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The aim of this paper is to present a recent experimental investigation of the wall pressure distribution and flow pattern observed during the filling and emptying of a full‐scale silo, with and without, inserts. The experiments were carried out with sand, at the Dept. POSTEC in the Tel‐Tek Research Institute in Norway. The results show that the double‐cone insert had a strong influence on the flow and pressures in the silo. A skewed flow often occurred when the insert was installed.
