Abstract

Particle settling behavior was studied by the computer simulation using simultaneous particle condensation and relaxation. This three-dimensional settling algorithm includes the estimation of powder sediment density. Density distribution through the powder sediment was compared and was agreed well with the experimental findings. Settling density depended strongly of the degree of particle relaxation. Sediment strength and isotropy also depended on the degree of particle relaxation. Sever particle bridging was found near sharp corners.
