A soft particle dynamics method based on shape degrees of freedom
Yohann Trivino, Vincent Richefeu, Farhang Radjai +2
In this paper, we present a 2D numerical model developed to simulate the dynamics of soft, deformable particles. To accommodate significant particle deformations, the particle surf…
The Effect of Confinement on Capillary Phase Transition In Granular Aggregates
Siavash Monfared, Tingtao Zhou, Jose E. Andrade +4
Utilizing a 3D mean-field lattice-gas model, we analyze the effect of confinement on the nature of capillary phase transition in granular aggregates with varying disorder and their…
Small Solar System Bodies as granular media
D. Hestroffer, P. Sánchez, L. Staron +12
Asteroids and other Small Solar System Bodies (SSSBs) are of high general and scientific interest in many aspects. The origin, formation, and evolution of our Solar System (and oth…
Discrete-element simulation of particle breakage inside ball mills: A 2D model
Luisa Fernanda Orozco, Duc-Hanh Nguyen, Jean-Yves Delenne +2
In this paper, the grinding of powder inside a ball mill is studied using the Bonded Cell Method (BCM) implemented in the framework of Contact Dynamics. In BCM the parent particles…
Root growth and force chains in a granular soil
M. Fakih, J. -Y. Delenne, F. Radjai +1
Roots provide basic functions to plants such as water/nutrient uptake and anchoring in soil. The growth and development of root systems contribute to colonizing the surrounding soi…
Particle dynamics simulation of wet granulation in a rotating drum
Thanh Trung Vo, Saeid Nezamabadi, Patrick Mutabaruka +4
We simulate the granulation process of solid spherical particles in the presence of a viscous liquid in a horizontal rotating drum by using molecular dynamics simulations in three…
