Role of vibrations in the jamming and unjamming of grains discharging from a silo
Cristian Mankoc, Angel Garcimartin, Iker Zuriguel +2
We present experimental results of the jamming of non-cohesive particles discharged from a flat bottomed silo subjected to vertical vibration. When the exit orifice is only a few g…
Pentagon deposits unpack under gentle tapping
Ana M. Vidales, Luis A. Pugnaloni, Irene Ippolito
We present results from simulations of regular pentagons arranged in a rectangular die. The particles are subjected to vertical tapping. We study the behavior of the packing fracti…
Cluster pair correlation function of simple fluids: energetic connectivity criteria
Luis A. Pugnaloni, Guillermo J. Zarragoicoechea, Fernando Vericat
We consider the clustering of Lennard-Jones particles by using an energetic connectivity criterion proposed long ago by T.L. Hill [J. Chem. Phys. 32, 617 (1955)] for the bond betwe…
Identification of arches in 2D granular packings
Roberto Arevalo, Luis A. Pugnaloni, Diego Maza
We identify arches in a bed of granular disks generated by a molecular dynamic-type simulation. We use the history of the deposition of the particles to identify the supporting con…
Arching in tapped deposits of hard disks
Luis A. Pugnaloni, Marcos G. Valluzzi, Lucas G. Valluzzi
We simulate the tapping of a bed of hard disks in a rectangular box by using a pseudo dynamic algorithm. In these simulations, arches are unambiguously defined and we can analyze t…
Continuum percolation and the liquid-solid coexistence line of simple fluids
Luis A. Pugnaloni, Marcos G. Valluzzi, Fernando Vericat
We compare the percolation loci for chemical clusters with the liquid-solid transition in the temperature-density phase diagram. Chemical clusters are defined as sets of particles…
