Shear-driven mixing of segregated granular materials
Hugo N. Ulloa, Tomás Trewhela
As granular materials flow and settle, interactions among particles of different sizes or properties drive mixing and segregation, producing dynamics that shape systems ranging fro…
Quantum Enhancement of Particle-Size Segregation
Tomás Trewhela
Segregated states based on particle size emerge in granular materials from the competition between segregation and diffusive remixing. Here, we show that quantum coherence can enha…
Stress network dynamics influence on large particle segregation
Alexander J. Navarrete, Leonardo Gordillo, Tomás Trewhela
A plethora of natural and industrial shear-driven granular flows exhibit particle-size segregation. Its occurrence is commonly attributed to two primary mechanisms: kinetic sieving…
Scaling particle-size segregation in wide-ranging sheared granular flows
Tianxiong Zhao, Daisuke Noto, Xia Li +2
Scaling relationships have been proposed to describe shear-driven size segregation based on intruder experiments and simulations. While these models have shown agreement with exper…
