Additional information
This paper was the winner of the IMechE Bulk Materials Handling Award for Innovation 2009. The original industrial problem was from the aluminium smelting industry where segregation of fines can cause flooding of the feed system to the electrolysis cells leading to damage. All previous publications on this topic have been of the “stamp collecting” type whereas this paper injects experimental rigour and theoretical prediction for the first time.
