This document describes a simulation of a semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill using a circular-disk based model. The simulation models the mill as circular disks representing the mill liner and calculates interaction forces between particles to model particle motion over time. Simulation results show the distribution of particles and grinding modes like cascading and cateracting for different mill parameters like the number of disks, disk radius, and rotation speed. The program can simulate SAG mill operation and provide insight into how particle motion is affected by adjustable mill design parameters.

Conclusion
The built program can be used to simulate SAG Mill with adjustable number of liner and mill’s radius.
The simulation results an acceptable distribution of grains when the grinding occurs, especially for cascading and
cateracting mode.
Further research, the size of grains can be varied in order to approach the real condition.
