Flow-induced surface crystallization of granular particles in cylindrical confinement

Abstract An interesting phenomenon that a layer of crystallized shell formed at the container wall during an orifice flow in a cylinder is observed experimentally and is investigated in DEM simulation. Different from shear or vibration driven granular crystallization, our simulation shows during the...

description Abstract An interesting phenomenon that a layer of crystallized shell formed at the container wall during an orifice flow in a cylinder is observed experimentally and is investigated in DEM simulation.

The growth rate of the shell is found linearly proportional to the flow rate.
