Numerical simulations of dense granular flow in a two-dimensional channel: The role of exit position Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 11574153). |
(color online) The flow rate as a function of time for (a) center exit and (b) lateral exit. The red solid and blue dotted lines stand for non-periodical and periodical conditions, respectively. The dashed lines denote the averaged flow rates. The insets are the sketches of simulation setups. |
