Numerical investigation of the effects of morphology-induced factors on electrostatic field distribution in silos

Key Points

• Electrostatic field distribution varies significantly due to morphology-induced factors, impacting silo function.
• A simulation demonstrated substantial changes in field distribution under varied morphological conditions.
• Numerical analysis assessed the relationships between silo shape and electrostatic field characteristics.
• These findings may inform silo design and operational protocols to mitigate electrostatic hazards.
