Universal features of the stick-slip dynamics of an intruder moving through a confined granular medium

On the use of magnetic particles to enhance the flow of vibrated grains through narrow apertures

The flow of grains through narrow apertures possess an extraordinary challenge: clogging. Strategies to alleviate the effect of clogging, such as the use of external vibration or addition of smaller grains, are always part of the design of machinery …

Molecular dynamics simulation of the heart type fatty acid binding protein in a crystal environment

Crystallographic data comes from a space-time average over all the unit cells within the crystal, so dynamic phenomena do not contribute significantly to the diffraction data. Many efforts have been made to reconstitute the movement of the …

Enhancement of the flow of vibrated grains through narrow apertures by addition of small particles

Stability and conductivity of proppant packs during flowback in unconventional reservoirs: A CFD–DEM simulation study

We present simulations using a coupled Computational Fluid Dynamics–Discrete Element Method (CFD–DEM) approach for a slurry of millimeter-sized particles in water which is squeezed between two walls and then made flow out though a narrow aperture. …

Two Approaches to Quantification of Force Networks in Particulate Systems

The interactions between particles in dense particulate systems are organized in force networks, mesoscale features that influence the macroscopic response to applied stresses. The detailed structure of these networks is, however, difficult to …

Microwave tomography with phaseless data on the calcaneus by means of artificial neural networks

The aim of this study is to use a multilayer perceptron (MLP) artificial neural network (ANN) for phaseless imaging the human heel (modeled as a bilayer dielectric media: bone and surrounding tissue) and the calcaneus cross-section size and location …

Intruder in a two-dimensional granular system: Effects of dynamic and static basal friction on stick-slip and clogging dynamics

We present simulation results for an intruder pulled through a two-dimensional granular system by a spring using a model designed to mimic the experiments described by Kozlowski et al. [Phys. Rev. E 100, 032905 (2019)]. In that previous study the …
