Experimental models for cohesive granular materials: a review

R Sharma, A Sauret - Soft Matter, 2025 - pubs.rsc.org
Granular materials are involved in most industrial and environmental processes, as well as
many civil engineering applications. Although significant advances have been made in …

How cohesion controls the roughness of a granular deposit

A Abramian, PY Lagrée, L Staron - Soft Matter, 2021 - pubs.rsc.org
Cohesive granular materials often form clusters of grains, which alter their flowing
properties. How these clusters form and evolve is difficult to visualize in the bulk of the …

Role of normal stress in the creep dynamics and failure of a biopolymer gel

A Pommella, L Cipelletti, L Ramos - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
We investigate the delayed rupture of biopolymer gels under a constant shear load by
simultaneous dynamic light scattering and rheology measurements. We unveil the crucial …

Front dynamics and surface morphology of wet granular flows down an inclined channel

Z Niu, Y Sun, D Wang - Acta Geotechnica, 2024 - Springer
The flow of wet granular materials released down an inclined channel is investigated
experimentally. The observed flow reveals three typical flow regimes corresponding to …

Magnetic Janssen effect

L Thorens, KJ Måløy, M Bourgoin, S Santucci - Nature Communications, 2021 - nature.com
A pile of grains, even when at rest in a silo, can display fascinating properties. One of the
most celebrated is the Janssen effect, named after the pioneering engineer who explained …

Taming the Janssen effect

L Thorens, KJ Måløy, M Bourgoin… - EPJ Web of …, 2021 - epj-conferences.org
We investigate both experimentally and theoretically the apparent mass of a ferromagnetic
granular assembly filling a cylindrical container and submitted to a magnetic field B, aligned …
