Impulse distributions in dense granular flows: Signatures of large-scale spatial structures
Impulse distributions in dense granular flows: Signatures of large-scale spatial structures
In this paper we report the results of simulations of a 2D gravity driven, dissipative granular flow through a hopper system. Measurements of impulse distributions P(I) on the simulated system show flow-velocity-invariant behavior of the distribution for impulses larger than the average impulse <I>. For small impulses, however, P(I) decreases …
