Explore the impact of aeration-assisted discharge in large cylindrical silos equipped with inverted conical hoppers, commonly used for storing fine dry powders like cement. These silos often suffer structural damage due to overstress from circumferential flexure and tension. The primary cause of this damage is identified as the formation of asymmetric flow channels at the silo wall, resulting from discharge openings’ proximity to the wall and aeration pressure.
