Topological properties of the contact network of granular packings
Roberto Arevalo, Iker Zuriguel, Diego Maza
The force networks of different granular ensembles are defined and their topological properties studied using the tools of complex networks. In particular, for each set of grains c…
The flow rate of granular materials through an orifice
C. Mankoc, A. Janda, R. Arévalo +4
The flow rate of grains through large orifices is known to be dependent on its diameter to a 5/2 power law. This relationship has been checked for big outlet sizes, whereas an empi…
Anomalous diffusion in silo drainage
R. Arevalo, A. Garcimartin, D. Maza
The silo discharge process is studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The development of the velocity profile and the probability density function for the displacements in the h…
Identification of arches in 2D granular packings
Roberto Arevalo, Luis A. Pugnaloni, Diego Maza
We identify arches in a bed of granular disks generated by a molecular dynamic-type simulation. We use the history of the deposition of the particles to identify the supporting con…
