Wet granular materials
Most studies on granular physics have focused on dry granular media, with no liquids between the grains. However, in geology and many real world applications (e.g., food processing, pharmaceuticals, ceramics, civil engineering, constructions, and many industrial applications), liquid is present between the grains. This produces inter-grain cohesion and drastically modifies the mechanical proper...
متن کاملFlow of wet granular materials.
The transition from frictional to lubricated flows of a dense suspension of non-Brownian particles is studied. The pertinent parameter characterizing this transition is the Leighton number Le=eta(s)gamma / sigma, the ratio of lubrication to frictional forces. Le defines a critical shear rate below which no steady flow without localization exists. In the frictional regime the shear flow is local...
متن کاملStress transmission in wet granular materials.
We analyze stress transmission in wet granular media in the pendular state by means of three-dimensional molecular-dynamics simulations. We show that the tensile action of capillary bonds induces a self-stressed particle network organized in two percolating "phases" of positive and negative particle pressures. Various statistical descriptors of the microstructure and bond force network are used...
متن کاملShear strength properties of wet granular materials.
We investigate shear strength properties of wet granular materials in the pendular state (i.e., the state where the liquid phase is discontinuous) as a function of water content. Sand and glass beads were wetted and tested in a direct shear cell and under various confining pressures. In parallel, we carried out three-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations by using an explicit equation expre...
متن کاملErosion dynamics of a wet granular medium.
Liquid may give strong cohesion properties to a granular medium, and confer a solidlike behavior. We study the erosion of a fixed circular aggregate of wet granular matter subjected to a flow of dry grains inside a half-filled rotating drum. During the rotation, the dry grains flow around the fixed obstacle. We show that its diameter decreases linearly with time for low liquid content, as wet g...
