The development of an applicable theory for granular matter—with both qualitative and
quantitative value—is a challenging prospect, given the multitude of states, phases and …

A two-step cycle was considered for solar thermochemical energy storage based on
particulate aluminum-doped calcium manganite reduction/oxidation reactions for direct …

Numerical simulations of flows of fluids with granular materials using the Eulerian-
Lagrangian approach involve the problem of modeling of collisions: both between the …

Large scale, discrete element simulations are performed to study the dynamics of a rotating
drum partially filled with cohesive granular particles. The continuous avalanche regime is …

We computationally investigate the dependence of the rheology of dense sheared granular
mixtures on their particle size distribution. We consider the simplest case of a binary mixture …

Surficial flows on volcanic edifices are often comprised of high concentrations of granular
materials either derived from juvenile eruptive material or material sourced from an unstable …

The granular flow down an inclined plane is simulated using the discrete element (DE)
technique to examine the extent to which the dynamics of an unconfined dense granular …

Granular column collapse is a simple but important problem to the granular material
community, due to its links to dynamics of natural hazards, such as landslides and …

We study smooth, slightly inelastic particles flowing under gravity on a bumpy inclined plane
using event-driven and discrete-element simulations. Shallow layers (ten particle diameters) …

Models for dense sheared granular materials indicate that their rheological properties
depend on particle size, but the representative size for mixtures is not obvious. Here, we …
