Entrainment into particle-laden turbulent plumes
Craig D. McConnochie, Claudia Cenedese, Jim N. McElwaine
We use laboratory experiments to investigate the entrainment of ambient fluid into an axisymmetric turbulent plume that contains dense particles with a settling velocity that is co…
Surface expression of a wall fountain: application to subglacial discharge plumes
Craig D. McConnochie, Claudia Cenedese, Jim N. McElwaine
We use laboratory experiments and theoretical modeling to investigate the surface expression of a subglacial discharge plume, as occurs at many fjords around Greenland. The experim…
Comments on avalanche flow models based on the concept of random kinetic energy
Dieter Issler, James T. Jenkins, Jim N. McElwaine
In a series of papers, Bartelt and co-workers developed novel snow-avalanche models in which \emph{random kinetic energy} (a.k.a.\ granular temperature) is a key concept. The…
Laws of Granular Solids. Geometry and Topology
Eric DeGiuli, Jim McElwaine
In a granular solid, mechanical equilibrium requires a delicate balance of forces at the disordered grain scale. To understand how macroscopic rigidity can emerge in this amorphous…
Lift and drag forces on an inclined plow moving over a granular surface
Baptiste Percier, Sebastien Manneville, Jim N. McElwaine +2
We studied the drag and lift forces acting on an inclined plate while it is dragged on the surface of a granular media, both in experiment and numerical simulation. In particular,…
Patterns in Flowing Sand: Understanding the Physics of Granular Flow
Tamas Borzsonyi, Robert E. Ecke, Jim N. McElwaine
Dense granular flows are often unstable and form inhomogeneous structures. Although significant advances have been recently made in understanding simple flows, instabilities of suc…
