In this work, the cohesion-specific inputs for a recent continuum theory cohesive particles are estimated moderately that form larger agglomerates via discrete element method (DEM) simulations of an oscillating shear flow. prior these (critical velocities agglomeration and breakage collision cylinder diameters) were determined lightly DEM simple flow—i.e., system dominated by singlets doublets....

Using and comparing kinetic theory second-order Chapman-Enskog hydrodynamics, we study the non-conformal dynamics of a system undergoing Bjorken expansion. We use concept `free-streaming fixed lines' for scaled shear bulk stresses in show that these `fixed behave as early-time attractors repellors evolution. In conformal limit, free-streaming lines reduce to well-known points dynamics. A new po...

Motivated by recent interest in collectivity small systems, we calculate the harmonic flow response to initial geometry deformations within weakly coupled QCD kinetic theory using first correction free-streaming background. We derive a parametric scaling formula that relates systems of different sizes and generic gluon distributions. comment on similarities differences between full effective to...

Silos are structures that are used for storing different types of granular material. Dynamic behavior of silos under seismic loads is very complex. In this paper seismic behavior of steel silos with different height to diameter ratios is investigated by considering granular material-structure interaction using ABAQUS finite element package. Silo wall is modeled by shell elements and its behavio...

Dense, dry granular avalanches are very efficient at sorting the larger particles towards the free surface of the flow, and finer grains towards the base, through the combined processes of kinetic sieving and squeeze expulsion. This generates an inversely graded particle-size distribution, which is fundamental to a variety of pattern formation mechanisms, as well as subtle size-mobility feedbac...

Two different kinetic theories [J. Solsvik and E. Manger (SM-theory), Phys. Fluids \textbf{33}, 043321 (2021) V. Garz\'o, J. W. Dufty, C. M. Hrenya (GDH-theory), Rev.
