Abstract

The size segregation of granular materials in a vibrating two-dimensional container is investigated using molecular dynamics. We find that the rising of larger particles is accompanied by the existence of convection cells even in the case of the lowest possible frequencies. The convection can, however, also be triggered by the larger particle itself. The possibility of rising through this mechanism strongly depends on the depth of the larger particle. © 1995 IOP Publishing Ltd.
