    Abstract
    Particle size segregation is a common feature in debris-flow deposits and is assumed to develop in a similar way as in dry granular flows where fluid forces are neglected. Solid-fluid coupling however is a defining feature of debris flows and fluid forces must therefore be accounted for in modelling for the segregation that develops therein. This paper presents a numerical investigation of the mechanisms of segregation under the influence of fluid forces. For this, a segment of a fully submerged bi-disperse steady granular flow is simulated using the CFD-DEM method. The solid-fluid interactions come in the form of buoyancy and fluid drag force. It is found that the presence of the fluid generally retards the rate and quality of segregation primarily by promoting the formation of a plug flow in the stream-wise velocity profile. The plug flow region forms at the free surface where it significantly reduces or zeroes out the shear rates thus inhibiting the main mechanisms of segregation, i.e. kinetic sieving and squeeze expulsion, to take place. It is inferred that the rapid shearing that occurs near the base promotes segregation but is unable to proceed towards the free surface due to the presence of the plug flow region that serves as a barrier. The quality of submerged segregation improves at lower angles where the plug flow region is minimized and the usual parabolic shear profile develops.
