I think that you can use Overland Conveyor Company's software "Chute Analyst" to simulate flow throug chute.

DustController,

These two general sources may lead to other, also useful, software:

http://www.smenet.org

http://www.bulk-online.com

(Try their thread titled Chute Design Handbook)

The Conveyor Equipment Manufacturer's Association may have useful literature/ads as well.

The folks at Conveyor Dynamics, Inc. and Martin Engineering have been solid resources for some of my work. Not sure if their software is for sale, but may be worth the contact.

Hope your search is successful.
