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…
