Despite the advancement on the understanding on the unwelcome phenomenon of hopper jamming, the influence of the particle-size distribution (PSD) width of the ubiquitous continuous PSDs remains unknown. Accordingly, this study investigated using discrete element method a range of PSD widths (10%≤σ/μ...
