Granular materials are abundant in nature, and in most industries, either the initial
constituents or final products are in granular form during a production or processing stage …

Granular flows are omnipresent in nature and industrial processes, but their rheological
properties such as apparent friction and packing fraction are still elusive when inertial …

Abstract The Discrete Element Method (DEM) has the prospect of accurately modelling the
bulk flows of cohesive materials if the cohesive input parameters are reliably calibrated …

When dealing with unsaturated wet granular materials, a fundamental question is: What is
the effect of capillary cohesion on the bulk flow and yield behavior? We investigate the …

Here the effect of contact properties on discrete element method (DEM) simulations of dry
granular flow was investigated. The particle contact properties were first measured using …

Abstract Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations coupled with shear cell experimental
results have been used to investigate the flow behaviour of a dry particle assembly of glass …

The behavior of a natural soil is known to change substantially in presence of water under
unsaturated conditions, due to additional capillary forces. Water can be absorbed by …

By means of extensive particle dynamics simulations in a three-dimensional model, we
analyze the rheology and granular texture in the steady-state of the viscoinertial granular …

Simulations of the failure of cohesive granular steps with varying intensities of the contact
adhesive force are presented. The simulations are compared with experimental and …

Wet agglomerates such as iron-ores, tablets, and aggregates are omnipresent in multi–field
industries. However, our understanding of the impact dynamics of these materials is limited …
