Numerical Simulations of Undrained Granular Media
The objective of the present study was to develop a fluid flow-coupled distinct element model capable of capturing the undrained behaviour of granular soils by considering fundamental physical mechanisms that involve fluid flow and particle interaction. The method considers granular media as assemblies of ellipsoidal particles arranged on a plane and interacting by means of contact forces. Satu...
متن کاملEnergy spectra of internal waves in stratified fluid: Direct numerical simulations
To investigate formation mechanism of energy spectra, direct numerical simulations of oceanic internal waves based on a dynamic equation are performed. Our simulations demonstrate that the resulting energy spectra in inertial regions are not universal. Instead, energy accumulates in the horizontally longest waves. We provide evidence that formation of energy spectra in inertial regions is domin...
متن کاملInternal Avalanches in Models of Granular Media
We study the phenomenon of internal avalanching within the context of recently introduced lattice models of granular media. The avalanche is produced by pulling out a grain at the base of the packing and then studying the number of grains to be rearranged before the packing is stable again. We find that the avalanches are long-ranged, decaying as a power law. We study the distribution of avalan...
متن کاملAbsolute Permeability Calculation by Direct Numerical Simulation in Porous Media
Simulating fluid flow at micro level is an ongoing problem. Simplified macroscopic flow models like Darcy’s law is unable to estimate fluid dynamic properties of porous media. The digital sample reconstruction by high resolution X-ray computed tomography scanning and fluid-dynamics simulation, together with the increasing power of super-computers, allow to carry out pore-scale simulations throu...
متن کاملNumerical simulations of granular dynamics II
Surfaces of planets and small bodies of our Solar System are often covered by a layer of granular material that can range from a fine regolith to a gravel-like structure of varying depths. Therefore, the dynamics of granular materials are involved in many events occurring during planetary and small-body evolution thus contributing to their geological properties. We demonstrate that the new adap...
