Abstract: Plug conveying along a horizontal tube has been investigated through simulation, using a discrete element simulation approach for the granulate particles and a pressure field approach for the gas. The result is compared with the simulation of the vertical plug conveying. The dynamics of a slug are described by porosity, velocity and force profiles. Their dependence on simulation parameters provides an overall picture of slug conveying.
