Rheology and microstructure of unsaturated granular materials: Experiments and simulations

M. Badetti, A. Fall, F. Chevoir, P. Aimedieu, S. Rodts, J. -N. Roux

Abstract

When dealing with unsaturated wet granular materials, a fundamental question is: what is the effect of capillary cohesion on the bulk flow and yield behavior? We inwestigate the dense flow rheology of unsaturated granular materials through experiments and discrete element simulations of homogeneous, simple annular shear flows of frictional, cohesive, spherical particles.
