Pattern-forming processes in simple fluids and suspensions have been studied extensively,
and the basic displacement structures, similar to viscous fingers and fractals in capillary …

We report new dynamical modes in confined soft granular flows, such as stochastic jetting
and dripping, with no counterpart in continuum viscous fluids. The new modes emerge as a …

The finger-like branching pattern that occurs when a less viscous fluid displaces a more
viscous one confined between two parallel plates has been widely studied as a classical …

We analyze inertial granular flows and show that, for all values of the inertial number I, the
effective friction coefficient μ arises from three different parameters pertaining to the contact …

We investigate the rheology of granular materials via molecular dynamics simulations of
homogeneous, simple shear flows of soft, frictional, noncohesive spheres. In agreement with …

Granular flows are omnipresent in nature and industrial processes, but their rheological
properties such as apparent friction and packing fraction are still elusive when inertial …

Understanding and predicting dense granular flows is of importance in geology and
industrial applications. Still, most theoretical work has been limited to flows and packings …

Dense granular flows are often unstable and form inhomogeneous structures. Although
significant advances have been recently made in understanding simple flows, instabilities of …

By means of extensive coupled molecular dynamics–lattice Boltzmann simulations,
accounting for grain dynamics and subparticle resolution of the fluid phase, we analyze …

The packing and flow of aspherical frictional particles are studied using discrete element
simulations. Particles are superballs with shape| x| s+| y| s+| z| s= 1 that varies from sphere …
