Dry Screening Stratification: A Particle Climbing and Settling Problem
Dry Screening Stratification: A Particle Climbing and Settling Problem
This Demonstration is an idealization of dry screening stratification. The matrix plot shows an end-on view of a black-bordered shaker box that extends into the screen along its border. The box houses ideal cubes of varying mobility (shown by various colors). The Demonstration shows the climbing and settling nature of the cubes; specifically, the matrix plot simulates the stratification profile that emerges when particles such as these ideal cubes are steadily shaken and then climb and settle under the influence of gravity, while at the same time interacting with one another or with barriers, all under ideal conditions and prevailing linearity. The network view shows a causal relationship in time and 2D space between the cubes; it is further utilized to quantify the matrix plot simulation of the stratification.
