We introduce the open-source package MercuryDPM, which we have been developing over
the last few years. MercuryDPM is a code for discrete particle simulations. It simulates the …

Positron Emission Particle Tracking (PEPT) is a technique which allows the three-
dimensional, internal dynamics of opaque systems to be imaged with high temporal and …

Over the last 12 years, numerous new theoretical continuum models have been formulated
to predict particle segregation in the size-based bidisperse granular flows over inclined …

We report on the scaling between the lift force and the velocity lag experienced by a single
particle of different size in a monodisperse dense granular chute flow. The similarity of this …

The objective of this paper is to find the optimum number of hierarchy levels and their cell
sizes for contact detection algorithms based on a versatile hierarchical grid data structure …

Debris and pyroclastic flows often have bouldery flow fronts, which act as a natural dam
resisting further advance. Counter intuitively, these resistive fronts can lead to enhanced run …

Shearing wet granular systems causes a redistribution of the interstitial liquid, which can
affect the material's bulk behavior. Using the discrete-element method, we study the early …

In this paper we introduce the open-source code MercuryDPM: a code for simulating
discrete particles. The paper discusses software and management issues that may be …

Rapid shallow granular flows over inclined planes are often seen in nature in the form of
avalanches, landslides and pyroclastic flows. In these situations the flow develops an …

We present a first experimental study of density-induced segregation within a three-
dimensional, vibrofluidised, ternary granular system. Using Positron Emission Particle …
