Abstract: Granular materials are the most recurrent form of solid-state matter on Earth. They challenge researchers and engineers in various fields not only because they occur with a broad variety of grain sizes, shapes and interactions ...

Abstract: Numerical simulations, by the discrete element method (DEM), of a model granular assembly, made of spherical balls, are used to investigate the influence of a small amount of an interstitial wetting liquid, forming capillary ...
