Instabilities in Granular Flows
The flow and handling of granular materials is of major importance to many industries. Yet despite efforts over several decades, the modeling of such flows has achieved only modest success. Dense gravity-driven flows in hoppers have been often modeled as elastic-plastic continua, for example. In this picture, the granular material flows as a plastic with a frictional yield condition, and deform...
متن کاملCasimir-like effect on a granular pile.
We investigate experimentally a Casimir-like effect in a three-dimensional pile of rice, which has a power-law avalanche size distribution. We observe the change in distance between two Plexiglas sheets placed on the pile parallel to each other and parallel to the mean avalanche flow direction, while rice grains are continuously and uniformly falling on top of the pile. The resulting avalanches...
متن کاملContact forces in regular 3D granular pile
We present exact results for the contact forces in a three dimensional static piling of identical, sti and frictionless spheres. The pile studied is a pyramid of equilateral triangular base (“stack of cannonballs”) with a FCC (face centered cubic) structure. We show in particular that, as for the two dimensional case, the pressure on the base of such a pile is uniform. c © 1999 Elsevier Science...
متن کاملS shape of a granular pile in a rotating drum.
The shape of a granular pile in a rotating drum is investigated. Using discrete elements method (DEM) simulations we show that the "S shape" obtained for high rotation speed can be accounted for by the friction on the end plates. A theoretical model which accounts for the effect of the end plates is presented and the equation of the shape of the free surface is derived. The model reveals a dime...
متن کاملArches and contact forces in a granular pile.
Assemblies of granular particles mechanically stable under their own weight contain arches. These are structural units identified as sets of mutually stable grains. It is generally assumed that these arches shield the weight above them and should bear most of the stress in the system. We test such hypothesis by studying the stress born by in-arch and out-of-arch grains. We show that, indeed, pa...
