Finite Element Simulation of Dense Wire Packings
Roman Vetter, Falk K. Wittel, Norbert Stoop +1
A finite element program is presented to simulate the process of packing and coiling elastic wires in two- and three-dimensional confining cavities. The wire is represented by thir…
Bohman-Frieze-Wormald model on the lattice, yielding a discontinuous percolation transition
K. J. Schrenk, A. Felder, S. Deflorin +3
The BFW model introduced by Bohman, Frieze, and Wormald [Random Struct. Algorithms, 25, 432 (2004)] and recently investigated in the framework of discontinuous percolation by Chen…
How dense can one pack spheres of arbitrary size distribution?
Saulo D. S. Reis, Nuno A. M. Araújo, José S. Andrade +1
We present the first systematic algorithm to estimate the maximum packing density of spheres when the grain sizes are drawn from an arbitrary size distribution. With an Apollonian…
Model for a dune field with exposed water table
Marco Cesar M. de M. Luna, Eric J. R. Parteli, Hans J. Herrmann
Aeolian transport in coastal areas can be significantly affected by the presence of an exposed water table. In some dune fields, such as in Lençóis Maranhenses, northeastern Brazil…
Granular packings of cohesive elongated particles
R. C. Hidalgo, D. Kadau, T. Kanzaki +1
We report numerical results of effective attractive forces on the packing properties of two-dimensional elongated grains. In deposits of non-cohesive rods in 2D, the topology of th…
Watersheds and Explosive percolation
Hans J. Herrmann, Nuno A. M. Araujo
The recent work by Achlioptas, D'Souza, and Spencer opened up the possibility of obtaining a discontinuous (explosive) percolation transition by changing the stochastic rule of bon…
Fractality of eroded coastlines of correlated landscapes
Pablo A. Morais, Erneson A. Oliveira, Nuno A. M. Araujo +2
Using numerical simulations of a simple sea-coast mechanical erosion model, we investigate the effect of spatial long-range correlations in the lithology of coastal landscapes on t…
Optimal path cracks in correlated and uncorrelated lattices
E. A. Oliveira, K. J. Schrenk, N. A. M. Araújo +2
The optimal path crack model on uncorrelated surfaces, recently introduced by Andrade et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 225503, 2009), is studied in detail and its main percolation exp…
