Collective alignment controls rotation frustration in granular flows of elongated particles
Antonio Pol, Riccardo Artoni, Patrick Richard
Dense granular flows made of elongated particles exhibit a strong inhibition of particle rotation compared to spherical grains, but the mechanisms responsible for this effect remai…

Granular drag and lift force on a flexible fiber
Antonio Pol, Sara Storti, Fabio Gabrieli
In this work, we investigate the forces acting on a flexible fiber dragged through a granular bed. Using discrete element simulations, we observe that, after a sufficiently large d…
