Abstract

With development of logistics and ports, port throughput of bulk cargo has been increasing. In the port, the bulk cargo conveying system plays a very important part. The transfer station is critical for bulk cargo distributing and the hopper is an important part in the transfer station. In this paper, different hoppers were designed. A discrete element method (DEM) software package EDEM was introduced to evaluate the particle behavior for different hoppers. The hopper angle has great influence on the dust particle behavior.
