Effect of confinement on dense packings of rigid frictionless spheres and polyhedra
Jean-François Camenen, Yannick Descantes, Patrick Richard
We study numerically the influence of confinement on the solid fraction and on the structure of three-dimensional random close packed (RCP) granular materials subject to gravity. T…
New patterns in high-speed granular flows
Nicolas Brodu, Renaud Delannay, Alexandre Valance +1
We report on new patterns in high-speed flows of granular materials obtained by means of extensive numerical simulations. These patterns emerge from the destabilization of unidirec…
On the relevance of numerical simulations to booming sand
Patrick Richard, Sean Mcnamara, Merline Tankeo
We have performed a simulation study of 3D cohesionless granular flows down an inclined chute. We find that the oscillations observed in [L.E. Silbert, Phys. Rev. Lett., 94, 098002…
