Abstract
Effect of the length of cylindrical particle on repose angle and porosity of a pile was numerically studied using discrete element method. The variation of repose angle and porosity with coefficient of sliding and rolling friction were also discussed. The results shown that compared with sphere particle, the bottom size of cylindrical pile is smaller, while the height of cylinder pile is larger and the heap is steeper. With the increase of the length of cylinder, the contour line of the pile becomes steep, and the angle of repose increases. The repose angle shows a positive correlation with coefficient of sliding and rolling friction. The porosity increases with the increase of the length of cylinders. The trends of porosity are basically consist with that of repose angle, and with increase of friction coefficient, the average porosity increases.
