Maximum Angle of Stability of a Wet Granular Pile
Sarah Nowak, Azadeh Samadani, Arshad Kudrolli
Anyone who has built a sandcastle recognizes that the addition of liquid to granular materials increases their stability. However, measurements of this increased stability often co…

Simulation of the Burridge-Knopoff Model of Earthquakes with Variable Range Stress Transfer
Junchao Xia, Harvey Gould, W. Klein +1
Simple models of earthquake faults are important for understanding the mechanisms for their observed behavior, such as Gutenberg-Richter scaling and the relation between large and…

Dynamics of channel incision in a granular bed driven by subsurface water flow
A. E. Lobkovsky, B. Smith, A. Kudrolli +1
We propose a dynamical model for the erosive growth of a channel in a granular medium driven by subsurface water flow. The model is inferred from experimental data acquired with a…
