A micromechanical model of collapsing quicksand
Dirk Kadau, Jose S. Andrade, Hans J. Herrmann
The discrete element method constitutes a general class of modeling techniques to simulate the microscopic behavior (i.e. at the particle scale) of granular/soil materials. We pres…

Simulation of particle mixing in turbulent channel flow due to intrinsic fluid velocity fluctuation
Thomas Burgener, Dirk Kadau, Hans J. Herrmann
We combine a DEM simulation with a stochastic process to model the movement of spherical particles in a turbulent channel flow. With this model we investigate the mixing properties…

Density profiles of loose and collapsed cohesive granular structures generated by ballistic deposition
Dirk Kadau, Hans J. Herrmann
Loose granular structures stabilized against gravity by an effective cohesive force are investigated on a microscopic basis using contact dynamics. We study the influence of the gr…
