A fundamental understanding of the underlying physics of granular (particulate) systems is
not only of academic interest, but is also highly relevant for industrial applications …

In recent years, due to warmer snow cover, there has been a significant increase in the
number of cases of damage caused by gliding snowpacks and glide avalanches. On most …

The generation of a tsunami wave by an aerial landslide is investigated through model
laboratory experiments. We examine the collapse of an initially dry column of grains into a …

We study experimentally the influence of confinement on the penetration depth of impacting
spheres into a granular medium contained in a finite cylindrical vessel. The presence of …

Combining experiments and numerical simulations with a mechanical-statistical model of
twisted yarns, we discuss the spinning transition between a cohesionless assembly of fibers …

The discrete element method was used to study the effect of mixer properties and fill level on
the granular flow of monodisperse, cohesionless spheres in a bladed mixer. For fill levels …

Accurate determination of heat transfer coefficients for flowing packed particle beds is
essential to the design of particle heat exchangers and other thermal and thermochemical …

Granular flow out of a silo is studied experimentally and numerically. The time evolution of
the discharge rate as well as the normal force (apparent weight) at the bottom of the …

We compare laboratory experiments, contact dynamics simulations and continuum Navier–
Stokes simulations with a. The dependency of the flow rate on the particle diameter is found …

We performed a series of experiments to investigate the flow of an assembly of non-
cohesive spherical grains in both high and low gravity conditions (ie above and under the …
