Analytical Approach to Continuous and Intermittent Bottleneck Flows
Analytical Approach to Continuous and Intermittent Bottleneck Flows
We propose a many-particle-inspired theory for granular outflows from a hopper and for the escape dynamics through a bottleneck based on a continuity equation in polar coordinates. If the inflow is below the maximum outflow, we find an asymptotic stationary solution. If the inflow is above this value, we observe …
