An accurate, reliable, on-line, continuous and non-invasive measurement of solids' mass
flow rate in pneumatic conveying pipelines has been a technically challenging area, which …

Granular materials are ubiquitous in nature and are also employed in many industrial
settings such as those involving chemical processes, pharmaceutical products, mining, and …

It is difficult to observe directly the particle motion inside a dense granular flow or a fluid-
particle flow because of the existence of surrounding particles. MRI (Magnetic Resonance …

A granular mixture of particles of two sizes that is shaken vertically will in most cases
segregate. If the larger particles accumulate at the top of the sample, this is called the Brazil …

A hydrodynamic description for an s-component mixture of inelastic, smooth hard disks (two
dimensions) or spheres (three dimensions) is derived based on the revised Enskog theory …

In contrast to molecular gases, granular gases are characterized by inelastic collisions and
require therefore permanent driving to maintain a constant kinetic energy. The kinetic theory …

Granular material is vertically vibrated in a 2D container: above a critical shaking strength,
and for a sufficient number of beads, a crystalline cluster is elevated and supported by a …

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has become one of the most important tools to screen
humans in medicine; virtually every modern hospital is equipped with a Nuclear Magnetic …

Granular gases are convenient model systems to investigate the statistical physics of
nonequilibrium systems. In the literature, one finds numerous theoretical predictions, but …

The Enskog kinetic theory is applied to compute the mean square displacement of impurities
or intruders (modeled as smooth inelastic hard spheres) immersed in a granular gas of …
