The stochastic flow rule: A multi-scale model for granular plasticity
Ken Kamrin, Chris H. Rycroft, Martin Z. Bazant
In spite of many attempts to model dense granular flow, there is still no general theory capable of describing different types of flows, such as gravity-driven drainage in silos an…
Analysis of Granular Flow in a Pebble-Bed Nuclear Reactor
Chris H. Rycroft, Gary S. Grest, James W. Landry +1
Pebble-bed nuclear reactor technology, which is currently being revived around the world, raises fundamental questions about dense granular flow in silos. A typical reactor core is…
Dynamics of Random Packings in Granular Flow
Chris H. Rycroft, Martin Z. Bazant, Gary S. Grest +1
We present a multiscale simulation algorithm for amorphous materials, which we illustrate and validate in a canonical case of dense granular flow. Our algorithm is based on the rec…
