Model of banana screen for robust performance
The reason for this discrepancy is that the model has a strict definition of aperture size which means that if the aperture is set to e.g. 40 mm in the model there will be a larger aperture value in the real screen. And the screen model also assumes that the particle shape is fairly cubical, which is not always the case.
