Screen simulation

solids -> oversize + undersize (PSD cut)

Governing equations

The exact equations the solver works for a screen — the same math shown in the app's "Theory" panel, not a black box.

Funder=Φ ⁣(ln(c/d50)lnσg)    (log-normal PSD partition at cut c)F_{under}=\Phi\!\Big(\frac{\ln(c/d_{50})}{\ln\sigma_g}\Big)\;\;(\text{log-normal PSD partition at cut } c)
FunderF_{under}
fraction of feed reporting to the undersize stream [0..1]
Φ\Phi
standard normal cumulative distribution function
cc
screen cut size (aperture) [m]
d50d_{50}
median particle size of the feed [m]
σg\sigma_g
geometric standard deviation of the log-normal size distribution — how wide the feed's size spread is

Parameters

cut_size_m [m, required]; the feed PSD (mean_size_m, gsd) rides on the solid stream's solids payload from upstream
