This review focuses on how the modeling of dense granular media has advanced over the
last 15 years. The jumping-off point of our review is the μ (I) rheology for dry granular flow …

Microrheology was proposed almost twenty years ago as a technique to obtain rheological
properties in soft matter from the microscopic motion of colloidal tracers used as probes …

Rheological properties of dense flows of hard particles are singular as one approaches the
jamming threshold where flow ceases both for aerial granular flows dominated by inertia …

The increasing number of mass events involving large crowds calls for a better
understanding of the dynamics of dense crowds. Inquiring into the possibility of a …

The computational particle fluid dynamic (CPFD) method is a common approach to
simulating dense particle flow, but the direct validation of the CPFD model using the particle …

The paper presents an experimental and numerical study of the forces experienced by a
cylinder moving horizontally in a granular medium under gravity. Despite the symmetry of …

Langevin equations or generalized Langevin equations (GLEs) are popular models for
describing the motion of a particle in a fluid medium in an effective manner. Here we …

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 …

Drag friction that acts on a disk in a two-dimensional granular medium is studied at high
packing fractions. We concentrate on a high-velocity region, in which the dynamic …

Impact of a single particle onto a rigid substrate leads to its deformation and subsequent
fragmentation. In this theoretical study a simplified model for the plastic flow in a deforming …
