We study, through discrete element simulations, the discharge of granular materials through a circular orifice on the base of a cylindrical silo forced by a surcharge. At the beginning of the discharge, for a high granular column, the flow…

We measure the flow of granular materials inside a quasi-two dimensional silo as it drains and compare the data with some existing models. The particles inside the silo are imaged and tracked with unprecedented resolution in both space and…

The flow rate of water through an orifice at the bottom of a container depends on the hydrostatic pressure whereas for a dry granular material is nearly constant. But what happens during the simultaneous discharge of grains and liquid from…

The Beverloo scaling for the gravity flow of granular materials through orifices has two distinct universal features. On the one hand, the flow rate is independent of the height of the granular column. On the other hand, less well-known yet…

We present a differential equation for the flow rate of granular materials during the discharge of a silo. This is based in the energy balance of the variable mass system in contrast with the traditional derivations based on heuristic…

The flow of dry granular materials from silos is of great practical interest in industry and of theoretical import for understanding multiphase dynamics. Recent studies have demonstrated that one way to control the rate of flow from a silo…

Granular flow out of a silo is studied experimentally and numerically. The time evolution of the discharge rate as well as the normal force (apparent weight) at the bottom of the container is monitored. We show, that particle stiffness has…

Since the early work of Hagen in 1852 and Beverloo et al. in 1961, the flow rate of granular material discharging through a circular orifice from a silo has been described by means of dimensional analysis and experimental fits, and…

Screw conveyors are widely employed in industry for the bulk transport of particulate materials. Several studies have attempted to correlate the discharge rate with the rotation speed of the screw via experiments and particle dynamics…

We experimentally demonstrate that the flow rate of granular material through an aperture is controlled by the exit velocity imposed to the particles and not by the pressure at the base, contrary to what is often assumed in previous works.…

We examine the gravity-induced flow of dry and cohesionless granular media through an outlet placed eccentrically in a planar silo, employing computations based on a soft-sphere discrete element method. The vertical velocity profiles,…

Two-dimensional granular discharge flow driven by gravity under the influence of an obstacle is experimentally investigated. A horizontal exit of width $W$ is opened at the bottom of vertical Hele-Shaw cell filled with stainless-steel…

We experimentally measure paticle acceleration within the bulk during the discharge of a granular silo. We highlight the existence of a deceleration wave emerging at the outlet level near the dead zone and propagates toward the top of the…

Resistance force exerted on an obstacle in a gravity-driven slow granular silo flow is studied by experiments and numerical simulations. In a two-dimensional granular silo, an obstacle is placed just above the exit. Then, steady discharge…

We investigate the force of flowing granular material on an obstacle. A sphere suspended in a discharging silo experiences both the weight of the overlaying layers and drag of the surrounding moving grains. In experiments with frictional…

For the last 50 years, the flow of a granular material through an aperture has been intensely studied in gravity-driven vertical systems (e.g. silos and hoppers). Nevertheless, in many industrial applications, grains are horizontally…

Very recently, To et al.~have experimentally explored granular flow in a cylindrical silo, with a bottom wall that rotates horizontally with respect to the lateral wall \cite{Kiwing2019}. Here, we numerically reproduce their experimental…

The discharge of polydisperse grains in a two-dimensional silo, operating in a continuous-discharge mode, is studied with the help of soft-particle discrete element simulations. We find that the mass flow rate displays similar variation…

A few years ago, Bouchaud al. introduced a phenomenological model to describe surface flows of granular materials [J. Phys. Fr. I, 4, 1383 (1994)]. According to this model, one can distinguish between a static phase and a rolling phase that…

We experimentally investigate how a long granular pile confined in a narrow channel destabilizes when it is inclined above the angle of repose. A uniform flow then develops, which is localized at the free surface. It first accelerates…
