Collision statistics of driven granular materials.
We present an experimental investigation of the statistical properties of spherical granular particles on an inclined plane that are excited by an oscillating side wall. The data is obtained by high-speed imaging and particle tracking techniques. We identify all particles in the system and link their positions to form trajectories over long times. Thus, we identify particle collisions to measur...
متن کاملShear-driven size segregation of granular materials: modeling and experiment.
Granular materials segregate by size under shear, and the ability to quantitatively predict the time required to achieve complete segregation is a key test of our understanding of the segregation process. In this paper, we apply the Gray-Thornton model of segregation (developed for linear shear profiles) to a granular flow with an exponential shear profile, and evaluate its ability to describe ...
متن کاملErosion of a granular bed driven by laminar fluid flow
Motivated by examples of erosive incision of channels in sand, we investigate the motion of individual grains in a granular bed driven by a laminar fluid to give us new insights into the relationship between hydrodynamic stress and surface granular flow. A closed cell of rectangular cross-section is partially filled with glass beads and a constant fluid flux Q flows through the cell. The refrac...
متن کاملDepth resolved granular transport driven by shearing fluid flow
We investigate granular transport by a fluid flow under steady-state driving conditions, from the bed-load regime to the suspension regime, with an experimental system based on a conical rheometer. The mean granular volume fraction φg , the mean granular velocity ug , and the fluid velocity uf are obtained as a function of depth inside the bed using refractive index matching and particle-tracki...
متن کاملGranular friction, Coulomb failure, and the fluid-solid transition for horizontally shaken granular materials.
We present the results of an extensive series of experiments, molecular dynamics simulations, and models that address horizontal shaking of a layer of granular material. The goal of this work was to better understand the transition between the "fluid" and "solid" states of granular materials. In the experiments, the material-consisting of glass spheres, smooth and rough sand-was contained in a ...
