Description |
Recent experimental studies of a vibrated granular bed consisting of two particle types have shown a transition from a mixed to a segregated state as the filling fraction is varied. A model of the system is introduced and investigated numerically. Many of the experimentally observed features are reproduced and it is shown that the mixed state to segregated state transition is a robust phenomenon. The model is used to investigate and elucidate the segregation mechanism(s) present in the experiment. |
