Granular matter in a silo
A model for slow accumulation of granular matter in a silo is considered. For the case of a circular silo with central point source the prooles of the standing and rolling layers are explicitly computed. The computed shapes agree qualitatively with experimental observations and seem better justiied than results with constant speed of the rolling layer.
متن کاملJamming during the discharge of granular matter from a silo.
In this work, we present an experimental study of the jamming that stops the free flow of grains from a silo discharging by gravity. When the outlet size is not much bigger than the beads, granular material jams the outlet of the container due to the formation of an arch. Statistical data from the number of grains fallen between consecutive jams are presented. The information that they provide ...
متن کاملGranular size segregation in underwater sand ripples.
We report an experimental study of a binary sand bed under an oscillating water flow. The formation and evolution of ripples is observed. The appearance of a granular segregation is shown to strongly depend on the sand bed preparation. The initial wavelength of the mixture is measured. In the final steady state, a segregation in volume is observed instead of a segregation at the surface as repo...
متن کاملParticle Size Segregation in Granular Avalanches
When particles with different material properties are segregated by size or density they often have a subtle feedback on the local mobility of the granular material, which can significantly modify the bulk flow. Perhaps the most striking example of this segregation-mobility feedback occurs in geophysical mass flows, such as debris-flows, dense pyroclastic avalanches and snow avalanches. Larger ...
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...
