  1. ; ; ; (, PARTICLES 2021 – VII International Conference on Particle-based Methods, Hamburg, Germany, October 4-6, 2021)

    This study evidences that the particle surface-area-to-volume ratio (A/V) and the particle volume (V) have the key information of particle geometry and the ‘signature’ is realized by a power-law relationship between A/V and V in a form of V = (A/V)^α × β. We find that the power value α is influenced by the shape-size relationship while the β* term (β evaluated with a fixed value of α = -3) informs the average particle shape of a granular material regarding the overall angularity. This study also discusses how the particle shape can be retrieved in terms of Wadell’s true sphericity using the A/V and V. This concept is linked to another shape index M that interprets the particle shape as a function of surface area A, volume V, and size L. This paper explains the analytical aspects of geometric ‘signature’ and examines the idea using the example particles to address the DEM modelling-related questions.
