Preliminary discrete element modeling of a falling particle curtain for CSP central tower receivers [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2016
Current methods used to simulate the curtain thickness in a falling particle receiver lead to a poor agreement with the experiments. Here the Discrete Element Method (DEM) is proposed to address the problem, including both the top hopper and the interactions between particles in the model.
