چکیده
We study the outflow dynamics and clogging phenomena of mixtures soft, elastic low-friction spherical grains hard frictional spheres similar size in a quasi-two-dimensional (2D) silo with narrow orifice at bottom.

Jamming during the discharge of grains from a silo described as a percolating transition.
We have looked into an experiment that has been termed the "canonical example" of jamming: granular material, clogging the outlet of a container as it is discharged by gravity. We present quantitative data of such an experiment. The experimental control parameter is the ratio between the radius of the orifice and the radius of the beads. As this parameter is increased, the jamming probability d...
متن کاملSilo collapse under granular discharge.
We investigate, at a laboratory scale, the collapse of cylindrical shells of radius R and thickness t induced by a granular discharge. We measure the critical filling height for which the structure fails upon discharge. We observe that the silos sustain filling heights significantly above an estimation obtained by coupling standard shell-buckling and granular stress distribution theories. Two e...
متن کاملFluctuations of grains inside a discharging two-dimensional silo.
We present experimental data corresponding to a two-dimensional dense granular flow, namely, the gravity-driven discharge of grains from a small opening in a silo. We study the local velocity field at the scale of single grains at different places with the help of particle-tracking techniques. From these data, the velocity profiles can be obtained and the validity of some long-standing approach...
