Mapping the limits of equilibrium in sheared granular liquid crystals
Jacopo Bilotto, Martin Trulsson, Jean-François Molinari
While elongated particles in viscous fluids follow Jeffery orbits, their dynamics in dense granular flows remain unresolved. We demonstrate that sheared, low friction granular rods…

Shear flow of frictional spheroids: Comparison between elongated and flattened particles
Jacopo Bilotto, Martin Trulsson, Jean-François Molinari
The rheology of dense granular shear flows is influenced by friction and particle shape. We investigate numerically the impact of non-spherical particle geometries under shear on p…
