This study focusses on the hopper discharge characteristics of lognormal particle size distributions (PSDs) of non-spherical particles (namely, ellipsoids, cylinders and cuboids). Discrete element method is employed to understand the coupled effects of sphericity and lognormal PSD width. The results...
