Granular Material Flowing Down an Inclined Chute: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation
arXiv:cond-mat/9211013 · doi:10.1051/jp2:1993109
Abstract
Two-dimensional Molecular Dynamics simulations are used to model the free surface flow of spheres falling down an inclined chute. The interaction between the particles in our model is assumed to be subjected to the Hertzian contact force and normal as well as shear friction. The stream of particles shows a characteristic height profile, consisting of layers of different types of fluidization. The numerically observed flow properties agree qualitatively with experimental results.
