The prediction of the angle of repose for raised mounds of dry cohesive granular material is a long-standing problem in the natural sciences and in industry. Using numerical (particle-based) ...

A heap is created when a powder is poured onto a surface. It is widely known that both the heap shape and the repose angle strongly rely on grain properties. Specifically, a non-cohesive powder forms ...

Growing up in a household where there was plenty of exposure to home construction cultivated a fascination with dirt and sand piles, necessary components of many varied projects in which a parent was ...

Fine powders and granular materials are extensively used in industrial applications. To manage and to enhance processing techniques, these materials have to be exactly characterized. The ...
