Granular flow dynamics in rotating systems is a multifaceted field that blends fundamental physical principles with practical industrial applications. Rotating drums, mixers and similar apparatuses ...

When we take a stroll on the beach, we walk on the sand without any trouble. The sand appears solid and is difficult to compress. When we put the same sand grains in an hourglass, they behave very ...

Granular flow dynamics and collapse mechanisms represent a rapidly evolving area of research that spans fundamental physics, geotechnical engineering and natural hazard assessment. At its core, the ...

Sand in an hourglass might seem simple and straightforward, but such granular materials are actually tricky to model. From far away, flowing sand resembles a liquid, streaming down the center of an ...

Suppose a hopper is filled with a granular material such as sand, and you need to compute the force or stress on the hopper walls. If static, this problem is straightforward to solve using FE software ...

COMSOL Multiphysics version 6.4 accelerates engineering simulations and multiphysics models. Full GPU support across all ...

Physicists have long known that the flow of sand through an hourglass is entirely different from the flow of liquid. In the case of a liquid, the rate of discharge depends on the pressure at the ...

Fine powders and granular materials are used across a broad spectrum of industrial applications. To optimize and control processing methods, these materials have to be characterized with great ...

Introduction Have you ever poured sand out of a bucket or cereal out of a box and noticed it seems to flow' a lot like water? This is because both sand and cereal are granular materials. That means ...

There's rarely time to write about every cool science-y story that comes our way. So this year, we're once again running a special Twelve Days of Christmas series of posts, highlighting one science ...

CEO Erin N. Kane highlighted that "AdvanSix delivered resilient earnings with strong sequential improvement in the second quarter while continuing to execute key growth in enterprise initiatives in ...
