Granular materials composed of particles with differing grain sizes, densities, shapes, or
surface properties may experience unexpected segregation during flow. This review focuses …

Accurate continuum models of flow and segregation of dense granular flows are now
possible. This is the result of extensive comparisons, over the last several years, of computer …

The pressure tensor (equivalent to the negative stress tensor) at both microscopic and
macroscopic levels is fundamental to many aspects of engineering and science, including …

We introduce the open-source package MercuryDPM, which we have been develo** over
the last few years. MercuryDPM is a code for discrete particle simulations. It simulates the …

Based on discrete element method simulations, we propose a new form of the constitutive
equation for granular flows independent of packing fraction. Rescaling the stress ratio μ by a …

A recent granular rheology based on an implicit “granular fluidity” field has been shown to
quantitatively predict many nonlocal phenomena. However, the physical nature of the field …

The discrete element method (DEM) is used extensively for the simulation of granular
materials and in powder technology. Averaging or coarse graining (CG) techniques, also …

The discrete element method has emerged as a powerful predictive tool for the numerical
modelling of many scientific and engineering problems involving discrete and discontinuous …

A series of numerically triaxial shear tests on crushable and uncrushable granular soils
reinforced by geogrid were conducted using 3-Dimension Particle Flow Code. The …

We experimentally study particle scale dynamics during segregation of a bidisperse mixture
under oscillatory shear. Large and small particles show an underlying asymmetry that is …
