The mechanism by which particles segregate according to shape during the filling of storage vessels is analyzed. The theoreticalapproach is based on a screening model proposed previously by the author for size segregation effects. The entrainment of angular particles, which have percolated through the flowing layer to collect at the interface between the flowingand stationary layers of the heap, characterizes the shape segregation process. Angular particles are deposited near the central feed point and form a V-shaped zone. While this pattern is similar to that resulting from size segregation, the mechanism of the two processes is different. In the present analysis, the segregation patterns observed are explained for various initial mixing ratios of feed particles, rates of feed, and apex angles of the vessel.The segregation of particle mixtures due to size dif-ferences is well known, but little information has been reported on the effects of particle shape on segregation within a storage vessel (Denburg and Bauer, 1964). One of the main reasons lies inthe fact that, though it may be possible to express particle shape mathematically (Cheng and Sutton, 1971), it is difficult to relate the physical behavior of particles to their mathematical shape definition. As a matter of fact, particle shape is not separable from size geometrically nor is it separable from surface frictional effects kinematically. In the case of segregation within a particle assembly, shape affects particle mobility
