Rochester researchers are uncovering the unexpected role of grain shape in the mixing of granular systems such as pharmaceuticals, cereal, and landslides. Your morning cereal, a jar of nuts, the sands ...
The kinetic theory of granular gas dynamics extends classical gas kinetics to assemblies of macroscopic particles whose collisions are dissipative, thus driving the system far from equilibrium.
Researchers at the University of Rochester used computer simulations comparing mixtures of spheres (left) with mixtures of spheres and cubes (right) to investigate how grain shape affects segregation.
