Particles suspended in a Newtonian fluid raise the viscosity and also generally give rise to a
shear-rate dependent rheology. In particular, pronounced shear thickening may be …

Tidewater glacier fjords are often filled with a collection of calved icebergs, brash ice, and
sea ice. For glaciers with high calving rates, this “mélange” of ice can be jam-packed, so that …

The force network of a granular assembly, defined by the contact network and the
corresponding contact forces, carries valuable information about the state of the packing …

We consider the flow of disks of diameter d driven by a conveyor belt of dynamic friction
coefficient μ through an aperture on a flat barrier. The flow rate presents two distinct regimes …

This paper presents a systematic numerical investigation of static stress profile within a
confined granular packing using discrete element method. The vertical and horizontal stress …

Dense granular materials and other particle aggregates transmit stress in a manner that
belies their microstructural disorder. A subset of the particle contact network is strikingly …

Realizing the stable high‐flux flow of cohesive granular materials is a complicated subject.
We experimentally studied the dynamic characteristics of cohesive granular materials …

A granular material is a group of many discrete solid particles interacting with each other
through collisions, heat transfer and other interaction types dispersed over a domain. When …

We experimentally present three methods for improving flow rate of disks driven through an
aperture on a conveyor belt: modifying a flat bottom wall, tuning an initial packing …

It is shown that vibrated packings of frictional disks self-organize cooperatively onto a
rotational-transport state where the long-time angular velocity ω¯ i of each disk i is nonzero …
