Powder mechanicsSimulation
Vibration reduces contacts, but the control is still settling
Model cohesive powder and compare particle behavior with and without vibration.
RESULT AND LIMITS
Gas-free particle runs show fewer contacts under vibration; a stable control is needed to interpret the difference.
The particle runs omit gas and the control bed was still settling. They do not establish a working fluidized-bed setting.
