The Complexity of Three-Dimensional Critical Avalanches
In this work we study the complexity of the three-dimensional sandpile avalanches triggered by the addition of two critical con gurations. We prove that the algorithmic problem consisting in predicting the evolution of three dimensional critical avalanches is P -complete and 6 p n-strict hard for P . On the other hand we prove that three-dimensional avalanches are superlinear long on average. I...
متن کاملGranular avalanches in fluids.
Three regimes of granular avalanches in fluids are put in light depending on the Stokes number St which prescribes the relative importance of grain inertia and fluid viscous effects and on the grain/fluid density ratio r. In gas (r>>1 and St>1, e.g., the dry case), the amplitude and time duration of avalanches do not depend on any fluid effect. In liquids (r approximately 1), for decreasing St,...
متن کاملRapid Granular Avalanches
Granular avalanches are one of the fundamental grain transport mechanisms in our natural environment and in many industrial grain-processing flows. In recent years significant progress has been made in describing the flow of granular avalanches over complex rigid topography. Often the fluid-like granular avalanches flow over a region of solid-like grains at which there may be erosion or deposit...
متن کاملA Three-Dimensional Parabolic Equation Applied to VHF/UHF Propagation over Irregular Terrain
The two-dimensional (2-D) parabolic equation (PE) is widely used for making radiowave propagation predictions in the troposphere. The effects of transverse terrain gradients, propagation around the sides of obstacles, and scattering from large obstacles to the side of the great circle path are not modeled, leading to prediction errors in many situations. In this paper, these errors are addresse...
متن کاملDynamics of dry granular avalanches.
A fine analysis of the statistics of dry granular avalanches in a rotating drum setup reveals that, beyond the fluctuations, the angle at which an avalanche ends is correlated experimentally to the angle at which the avalanche starts. This correlation resulting from inertia defines an intermediate "neutral" angle that characterizes the corresponding granular pile. In addition, an intensive stud...
