Jamming in granular media : modeling of experimental data

Michel Tsukahara

This thesis studies the phenomenon of jamming in granular media, such as when a salt shaker gets clogged. We use modern instrumentation, like X-ray synchrotron tomography, to look inside real jamming experiments. High performance computers allow simulating ...

Particle shape versus friction in granular jamming

Thomas Liebling, Lionel Pournin, Michel Tsukahara

What is the influence of sand grain shapes on an hourglass accuracy, and how does it affect the jamming probability? We study such a question using numerical simulation and our recently introduced spheropolyhedral particles. Spheropolyhedra constitute a ve ...

Simple probabilistic modeling of granular jamming and validation using DEM

Thomas Liebling, Lionel Pournin, Michel Tsukahara

We study the flow of grains in a bi-dimensional hopper. We propose a simple continuous probabilistic flow model: from uniformly random positions in the hopper, particles evolve without interaction towards the hopper aperture and jamming occurs if sufficien ...
