چکیده

We explore the notion of angle of repose for granular materials. As an illustration, we solve free surface problems for centrifuged granular piles. These have recently been considered as an affordable and simple way to experiment with powders and dust in reduced gravity environments such as on the Moon or on Mars.

Surface instabilities in shock loaded granular media

The initiation and growth of instabilities in granular materials loaded by air shock waves are investigated via shock-tube experiments and numerical calculations. Three types of granular media, dry sand, water-saturated sand and a granular solid comprising PTFE spheres were experimentally investigated by air shock loading slugs of these materials in a transparent shock tube. Under all shock pre...

Coupled DEM-LBM method for the free-surface simulation of heterogeneous suspensions

The complexity of the interactions between the constituent granular and liquid phases of a suspension requires an adequate treatment of the constituents themselves. A promising way for numerical simulations of such systems is given by hybrid computational frameworks. This is naturally done, when the Lagrangian description of particle dynamics of the granular phase finds a correspondence in the ...

The Solution of Laminar Incompressible Flow Equation with Free Surfaces in Curvilinear Coordinates

In this paper a novel numerical approach is presented for solving the transient incompressible fluid flow problems with free surfaces in generalized two-dimensional curvilinear coordinate systems. Solution algorithm is a combination of implicit real-time steps and explicit pseudo-time steps. Governing fluid flow equations are discretized using a collocated finite-volume mesh. Convective terms a...

Simulating regoliths in microgravity

Despite their very low surface gravities, the surfaces of asteroids and comets are covered by granular materials regolith that can range from a fine dust to a gravellike structure of varying depths. Understanding the dynamics of granular materials is, therefore, vital for the interpretation of the surface geology of these small bodies and is also critical for the design and/or operations of any...
