The term “granular flows” refers to a system of solid particles in which the flow behavior is dictated solely by particle-particle and particle-wall interactions (i.e., the role of the interstitial ...

Our research combines experiments, particle-level simulations, and models ranging from continuum transport to piecewise isometries, a recent branch of mathematics that can represent solids shuffling, ...

Granular materials, those made up of individual pieces, whether grains of sand or coffee beans or pebbles, are the most ...

The observed effects are relevant for producing materials with improved properties, especially for granular systems and foams. Like a box full of building blocks Imagine the inside of a solid ...
