Mechanisms of size segregation in granular flows with different ambient fluids

Particle size segregation is ubiquitous in granular systems with differently sized constituents but is found to diminish in the presence of viscous ambient fluids. We study this inhibiting effect through coupled fluid-particle numerical simulations. It is found that size segregation is indeed slower...
