Effect of Shape and Friction on the Packing and Flow of Granular Materials

K. Michael Salerno, Dan S. Bolintineanu, Gary S. Grest +4

The packing and flow of aspherical frictional particles are studied using discrete element simulations. Particles are superballs with shape $|x{|}^s+|y{|}^s+|z{|}^s=1$ that varie…
