Material movement in the dredge scoop

Abstract

When designing a dredge and selecting the main parameters that determine its operation, an important issue is the choice of angular speed of rotation of the motor and the length of the bottom of the scoop. For normal operation of the dredge it is necessary to select these parameters so that the material, pouring out of the scoop, falls into the receiving device. To solve this issue, the movement of material along the bottom of the scoop should be studied.
