Density distribution of particles upon jamming after an avalanche in a 2D silo

We present a complete analysis of the density distribution of partióles in a two dimensional silo after discharge. Simulations through a pseudodynamic algorithm are performed for filling and subsequent discharge of a plañe silo. Partióles are monosized hard disks deposited in the container and subje...

Sumario:We present a complete analysis of the density distribution of partióles in a two dimensional silo after discharge. Simulations through a pseudodynamic algorithm are performed for filling and subsequent discharge of a plañe silo. Partióles are monosized hard disks deposited in the container and subjected to a tapping process for compaction. Then, a hole of a given size is open at the bottom of the silo and the discharge is triggered. After a clogging at the opening is produced, and equilibrium is restored, the final distribution of the remaining partióles at the silo is analyzed by dividing the space into cells with different geometrical arrangements to visualize the way in which the density depression near the opening is propagated throughout the system. The different behavior as a function of the compaction degree is discussed.
