We outline a continuum approach for treating discrete granular flows that holds across
multiple scales: from experiments that focus on centimeter-size control volumes, to tests that …

This contribution outlines a multiphase flow solution method developed in conjunction with
the incompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) discretization. We present (a) a …

We describe an analytical framework implemented in a general-purpose mobility simulation
platform for enabling the design of control policies for improved rover mobility in granular …

Abstract We use the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method to determine the
dynamics of granular material in its interaction with a four-wheel rover. The goal of the …

We use the SPH method to determine the dynamics of granular material in its interaction
with the eight wheels of a rover. The rover wheel geometry is defined through a mesh. The …

The interaction between a moving multibody system and granular material is encountered in
numerous engineering problems in geomechanics and terramechanics; see, for instance,[2 …
