▪ Abstract The recent avalanche of research activity in the field of granular matter has yielded
much progress. The use of state-of-the-art (and other) computational and experimental …

The objective of this review is to examine how the concept of plasticity is used in
geophysical fluid dynamics. Rapid mass movements such as snow avalanches or debris …

The flow around a fixed cylinder immersed in a uniform granular flow is studied
experimentally. Experiments are performed in a tall vertical chute producing a quasi two …

The field of granular physics has burgeoned since its development in the late 1980s, when
physicists first began to use statistical mechanics to study granular media. They are …

Jamming of monodisperse metal disks flowing through two-dimensional hoppers and silos is
studied experimentally. Repeating the flow experiment M times in a hopper or silo (HS) of …

Given their small size, microchannels are susceptible to being blocked by small amounts of
solid matter. The lifetime of certain microfluidic devices depends on their ability to maintain …

During the past decades, notable improvements have been achieved in the understanding
of static and dynamic properties of granular materials, giving rise to appealing new concepts …

We study the pressure-driven flow of concentrated colloids confined in glass microchannels
at the single-particle level using fast confocal microscopy. For channel to particle size ratios …

Boundary effects in gravity-driven, dense granular flows down inclined planes are studied
using large-scale molecular dynamics simulations. We find that the flow behavior and …

We perform granular flow experiments using metal disks falling through a two-dimensional
hopper. When the opening of the hopper d is small, jamming occurs due to formation of an …
