Role of vibrations in the jamming and unjamming of grains discharging from a silo
Cristian Mankoc, Angel Garcimartin, Iker Zuriguel +2
We present experimental results of the jamming of non-cohesive particles discharged from a flat bottomed silo subjected to vertical vibration. When the exit orifice is only a few g…
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…
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…
Jamming during the discharge of granular matter from a silo
Iker Zuriguel, Angel Garcimartín, Diego Maza +2
In this work we present an experimental study of the jamming that stops the free flow of grains from a silo discharging by gravity. When the outlet size is not much bigger than the…
Time resolved particle dynamics in granular convection
J. M. Pastor, D. Maza, I. Zuriguel +2
We present an experimental study of the movement of individual particles in a layer of vertically shaken granular material. High-speed imaging allows us to investigate the motion o…
