A differential equation for the flow rate during silo discharge Beyond the Beverloo rule
(EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017)We present a differential equation for the flow rate of granular materials during the discharge of a silo. This is based in the energy balance of the variable mass system in contrast with the traditional derivations based ... -
Apparent mass during silo discharge Nonlinear effects related to filling protocols
(Elsevier, 2017)We study the evolution of the force exerted by a granular column on the bottom surface of a silo during its discharge. Previous to the discharge, we prepare the system using different filling procedures: distributed, i.e. ... -
Arch based configurations in the volume ensemble of static granular systems
(Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, 2015)We propose an alternative approach to count the microscopic static configurations of granular packs under gravity by considering arches. This strategy obviates the problem of filtering out configurations that are not ... -
Arching during the segregation of two dimensional tapped granular systems Mixtures versus intruders
(Springer, 2014)We present numerical simulations of binary mixtures of granular disks subjected to tapping. We consider the size segregation process in terms of the arches formed by small and big particles. Although arching has been ... -
Clogging transition of many particle systems flowing through bottlenecks
(Scientific Reports, 2014)When a large set of discrete bodies passes through a bottleneck, the flow may become intermittent due to the development of clogs that obstruct the constriction. Clogging is observed, for instance, in colloidal suspensions, ... -
Clogging transition of vibration driven vehicles passing through constrictions
(American Physical Society, 2017)We report experimental results on the competitive passage of elongated self-propelled vehicles rushing through a constriction. For the chosen experimental conditions, we observe the emergence of intermittencies similar to ... -
Contact network topology in tapped granular media
(American Physical Society, 2013)We analyze the contact network of simulated two-dimensional granular packings in different states of mechanical equilibrium obtained by tapping. We show that topological descriptors of the contact network allow one to ... -
Determination of the angle of repose and coefficient of rolling friction for wood pellets
(2022-02-08)The determination of the angle of repose for granular materials is indispensable for their handling and the design of containers and technological processing equipment. On the other hand, computational simulations have ... -
Differential equation for the flow rate of discharging silos based on energy balance
(2020-05)Since the early work of Hagen in 1852 and Beverloo et al. in 1961, the flow rate of granular material discharging through a circular orifice from a silo has been described by means of dimensional analysis and experimental ... -
Dynamic transition in conveyor belt driven granular flow
(Elsevier, 2015)We consider the flow of disks of diameter d driven by a conveyor belt of dynamic friction coefficient μ through an aperture on a flat barrier. The flow rate presents two distinct regimes. At low belt velocities v the flow ... -
Effect of bevelled silo outlet in the flow rate during discharge
(2023-07-29)We investigate the effect of a bevelled (or slanted) outlet on the discharge rate of mono-sized spheres from a quasi-two-dimensional silo, using the discrete element method. In contrast to hopper discharges, where the ... -
Effect of grain shape on the jamming of two dimensional silos
(EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017)We present discrete element method simulations of the discharge of silos in two dimensions. We study the effect of the grain shape on the clogging of small apertures, considering regular polygons and disks of equal mass. ... -
Effect of particle shape and fragmentation on the response of particle dampers
(SAGE Publications, 2014)A particle damper (PD) is a device that can attenuate mechanical vibrations thanks to the dissipative collisions between grains contained in a cavity attached to the vibrating structure. It has been recently suggested that, ... -
Ergodic nonergodic transition in tapped granular systems; The role of persistent contacts
(Papers in Physics, 2016)Static granular packs have been studied in the last three decades in the frame of a modi ed equilibrium statistical mechanics that assumes ergodicity as a basic postulate. The canonical example on which this framework is ... -
Exact predictions from Edwards ensemble vs realistic simulations of tapped narrow two dimensional granular columns
(Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, 2013)We simulate, via a discrete element method, the tapping of a narrow column of disks under gravity. For frictionless disks, this system has a simple analytical expression for the density of states in the Edwards volume ... -
Experimental proof of faster is slower in systems of frictional particles flowing through constrictions
(American Physical Society, 2015)The “faster-is-slower” (FIS) effect was first predicted by computer simulations of the egress of pedestrians through a narrow exit [D. Helbing, I. J. Farkas, and T. Vicsek, Nature (London) 407, 487 (2000)]. FIS refers to ... -
First order phase transition during displacement of amphiphilic biomacromolecules from interfaces by surfactant molecules
(Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2014)The adsorption of surfactants onto a hydrophobic interface, already laden with a fixed number of polymers, is studied using the self consistent field (SCF) calculation method of Scheutjens and Fleer. For polymers having ... -
Flow rate of polygonal grains through a bottleneck Interplay between shape and size
(Papers in Physics, 2015)We report two-dimensional simulations of circular and polygonal grains passing through an aperture at the bottom of a silo. The mass flow rate for regular polygons is lower than for disks\red{,} as observed by other authors. ... -
Intruder in a two-dimensional granular system: effects of dynamic and static basal friction on stick-slip and clogging dynamics
(2019-10-15)We discuss the results of simulations of an intruder pulled through a two-dimensional granular system by a spring, using a model designed to lend insight into the experimental findings described by Kozlowski et al. [Phys. ... -
On and off dynamics of a creeping frictional system
(Springer, 2014)We report on the dynamics of a model frictional system submitted to minute external perturbations. The system consists of a chain of sliders connected through elastic springs that rest on an incline. By introducing cyclic ...
