Wet agglomeration processes have traditionally been considered an empirical art, with great
difficulties in predicting and explaining observed behaviour. Industry has faced a range of …

▪ Abstract Granular materials segregate. Small differences in either size or density lead to
flow-induced segregation, a complex phenomenon without parallel in fluids. Modeling of …

Because of the importance of multiphase flows in a wide variety of industries, including
power, petroleum, and numerous processing industries, an understanding of the behavior …

Most studies on granular physics have focused on dry granular media, with no liquids
between the grains. However, in geology and many real world applications (eg food …

Recent advances in understanding model systems of wet granular materials are presented,
with particular emphasis on statistical concepts, dynamics, and phase transitions. It is …

The handling and storage of bulk powders is common in many industries such as detergent,
pharmaceutical, bulk chemical and food. A lot of materials are susceptible to changes with …

When a granular material such as sand is mixed with a certain amount of liquid, the surface
tension of the latter bestows considerable stiffness to the material, which enables, for …

Vegetation significantly affects hillslope hydrological and mechanical properties related to
shallow landslide triggering. In view of the complexity of soil plant hydrological interactions …

Granular flow is important scientifically as well as industrially. Often, cohesive forces
between grains are the norm, rather than the exception; yet, the majority of research in …

We investigate shear strength properties of wet granular materials in the pendular state (ie,
the state where the liquid phase is discontinuous) as a function of water content. Sand and …
