We study the percolation of a fine spherical particle under gravity in static randomly packed large-particle beds with different packing densitiesand large to fine particle size ratiosranging from 4 to 7.5 using discrete element method simulations. The particle size ratio at the geometrical trapping threshold, defined by three touching large particles,, divides percolation behavior into passing and trapping regimes. However, the mean percolation velocity and diffusion of untrapped fine particles, which depend on bothand, are similar in both regimes and can be collapsed over a range ofandwith the appropriate scaling. An empirical relationship for the local percolation velocity based on the local pore throat to fine particle size ratio and packing density is obtained, which is valid for the full range of size ratio and packing density we study. Similarly, in the trapping regime, the probability for a fine particle to reach a given depth is well described by a simple statistical model. Finally, the percolation velocity and fine particle diffusion are found to decrease with increasing restitution coefficient.
