Fragmentation of a Circular Disc by Impact on a Frictionless Plate
Bhupalendra Behera, Ferenc Kun, Sean McNamara +1
The break-up of a two-dimensional circular disc by normal and oblique impact on a hard frictionless plate is investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. The disc is composed of…
Profile measurement and simulation of a transverse dune field in the Lençóis Maranhenses
E. J. R. Parteli, V. Schwaemmle, H. J. Herrmann +2
In this work, we report measurements of the height profile of transverse dunes in the coastal dune field known as ``Lençóis Maranhenses'', northeastern Brazil. Our measurements sho…
Transport Phenomena and Structuring in Shear Flow of Suspensions near Solid Walls
A. Komnik, J. Harting, H. J. Herrmann
In this paper we apply the lattice-Boltzmann method and an extension to particle suspensions as introduced by Ladd et al. to study transport phenomena and structuring effects of pa…
Plug Conveying in a Vertical Tube
Martin Strauss, Sean McNamara, Hans J. Herrmann +2
Plug conveying along a vertical tube has been investigated through simulation, using a discrete element simulation approach for the granulate particles and a pressure field approac…
Sedimentation of Oblate Ellipsoids at low and Moderate Reynolds numbers
F. Fonseca, H. J. Herrmann
In many applications to biophysics and environmental engineering, sedimentation of non-spherical particles for example: ellipsoids, is an important problem. In our work, we simulat…
