We investigate a rheological property of a dense granular material under shear. By a numerical experiment of the system with constant volume, we find a critical volume fraction at which the shear stress and the pressure behave as power-law…
The dynamical mechanism at the origin of the non-local rheology of dense granular flows is investigated trough discrete element simulations. We show that the influence of a shear band on the mechanical behavior of a distant zone is…
We report measurements in a 2-dimensional, gravity-driven, collisional, granular flow of the normal force delivered to the wall and of particle velocity at several points in the flow. The wall force and the flow velocity are negatively…
Two dimensional simulations of non-cohesive granular matter in a biaxial shear tester are discussed. The effect of particle elasticity on the mechanical behavior is investigated using two complementary distinct element methods (DEM): Soft…
We present a mode-coupling theory for the dynamics of a tagged particle in a driven granular fluid close to the glass transition. The mean-squared displacement is shown to exhibit a plateau indicating structural arrest. In contrast to…
``Couette geometry'' refers to two concentric rings in 2-dimensions (or cylinders in 3-dimensions with a medium in between. Typically the inner and outer rings (or cylinders) rotate at different rates and the response of the medium is…
Granular materials segregate spontaneously due to differences in particle size, shape, density and flow behaviour. In this paper we experimentally investigate density-difference-driven segregation for a range of density ratios and a range…
The dynamics of a test particle interacting with diffusing impurities in one dimension is investigated analytically and numerically. In the absence of an applied external force, the dynamics of the particle can be characterized by a…
A two-dimensional lattice model for the formation and evolution of shear bands in granular media is proposed. Each lattice site is assigned a random variable which reflects the local density. At every time step, the strain is localized…
Scaling relationships have been proposed to describe shear-driven size segregation based on intruder experiments and simulations. While these models have shown agreement with experimental and numerical results under uniform shear rate,…
We report on experiments investigating the dynamics of a slider that is pulled by a spring across a granular medium consisting of a vertical layer of photo-elastic disks. The motion proceeds through a sequence of discrete events, analogous…
We numerically and theoretically study macroscopic properties of dense, sheared granular materials. In this process we first introduce an invariance in Newton's equations, explain how it leads to Bagnold's scaling, and discuss how it…
We re-analyse experiments on a foam sheared in a two-dimensional Couette geometry [Debregeas <i>et al.</i>, Phys. Rev. Lett. <b>87</b>, 178305 (2001)]. We characterise the bubble deformation by a texture tensor. Our measurements are local…
Experimental results are presented for a vertically shaken granular layer. In the range of accelerations explored, the layer develops a convective motion in the form of one or more rolls. The velocity of the grains near the wall has been…
The sedimentation of a spherical particle in an elastoviscoplastic fluid in proximity of a flat wall is investigated by direct numerical simulations. The governing equations under inertialess conditions are solved by the finite element…
A two-dimensional Yukawa liquid is studied using two different nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation methods. Shear viscosity values in the limit of small shear rates are reported for a wide range of Coulomb coupling parameter and…
We use X-ray imaging to study viscous resuspension. In a Taylor-Couette geometry, we shear an initially settled layer of spherical glass particles immersed in a Newtonian fluid and measure the local volume fraction profiles. In this…
The mechanical response of a wet granular layer to imposed shear is studied experimentally at low applied normal stress. The granular material is immersed in water and the shear is applied by sliding a plate resting on the upper surface of…
Deposition of smaller granular particles on a larger nucleus particle has been simulated in two-dimension using molecular dynamics method. Variation of sequences of velocity of deposited particles is conducted and reported in this work. The…
The spatial correlation function of the momentum density in the three-dimensional dilute sheared granular fluids is theoretically investigated. The existence of the long-range correlation is verified through both the analytic calculation…
