Purpose. Establishment of the laws governing the movement of particles in the air flow with an uneven distribution of flow velocity and the action of additional forces arising from this.Methods. Theoretical studies are based on the basic principles of theoretical mechanics, in particular dynamics, as well as the theory of differential equations of the first and second orderResults. A mathematical description is obtained of the movement of particles of the grain mixture in the chamber of a gravity-air separator during the action of air flows of variable speed, as well as the trajectory of particles with different sizes. With certain assumptions, the obtained patterns of change in the velocity of a material particle (point) from coordinates.Conclusions1.Based on theoretical studies, taking into account deflecting forces, the possibility of separating particles of grain material into fractions by aerodynamic properties in vertical channels and with a lower discharge is determined.2.The use of air flow as a separating carrier can significantly increase the value of the splitting of the trajectories and the criterion for the separation of grain into fractions.3.Created simplified mathematical models of the movement of the components of the grain material in air separators with vertical channels, which allow us to determine the rational modes of operation of new technical means.Keywords: air flow, variable air speed, trajectory, stability of forces, fractions, fractionation process, grain mixture, air separator, pneumatic circular flow.
