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 …

In comminution circuits, grinding is the most energy-intensive process. Although significant
work was focused on the charge particle dynamics via only DEM in the past, but lifter effects …

Despite the widespread use of the Discrete Element Method (DEM) to simulate industrial
rotating drum flows, comparatively little work has been done to evaluate its accuracy. To …

We report numerical simulations on granular shear flows confined between two flat but
frictional sidewalls. Novel regimes differing by their strain localization features are observed …

Dry, wet, dense, and dilute granular flows have been previously considered fundamentally
different and thus described by distinct, and in many cases incompatible, rheologies. We …

Micro–macro transition methods can be used to, both, calibrate and validate continuum
models from discrete data obtained via experiments or simulations. These methods …

Granular flow out of a silo is studied experimentally and numerically. The time evolution of
the discharge rate as well as the normal force (apparent weight) at the bottom of the …

We report on measurements of self-diffusion coefficients in discrete numerical simulations of
steady, homogeneous, collisional shearing flows of nearly identical, frictional, inelastic …

The flow rate of a granulate out of a cylindrical container is studied as a function of particle
shape for flat and elongated ellipsoids experimentally and numerically. We find a …
