Micro-mechanical Failure Analysis of Wet Granular Matter
Konstantin Melnikov, Falk K. Wittel, Hans J. Herrmann
We employ a novel fluid-particle model to study the shearing behavior of granular soils under different saturation levels, ranging from the dry material via the capillary bridge re…
Grain Scale Modeling of Arbitrary Fluid Saturation in Random Packings
Konstantin Melnikov, Roman Mani, Falk K. Wittel +2
We propose a model for increasing liquid saturation in a granular packing which can account for liquid redistribution at saturation levels beyond the well-studied capillary bridge…
Long wavelength instability of coherent structures in plane Couette flow
Konstantin Melnikov, Tobias Kreilos, Bruno Eckhardt
We study the stability of coherent structures in plane Couette flow against long-wavelength perturbations in wide domains that cover several pairs of coherent structures. For one a…
