The experiments, Dr. Fineberg said, show that the oscillons do not just occur in granular media.
This means a granular media will be propelled against the surface of the casting to mechanically knock away the adhering sand.
For example, the force networks formed in a granular media can be visualized using DEM.
The main field of application is the simulation of granular media, such as sand, gravel, granulates in chemical engineering and others.
Motion of many particles, spheres which fall in a funnel, mixing processes (granular media)
In some applications, air and water streams are simultaneously pushed upwards through the granular media followed by a rinse water wash.
Some water treatment filters use surface wash systems that break up the heavily clogged, granular media surface layer.
The insights they have gained so far about granular media have had important applications in the construction, agricultural and pharmaceutical industries.
The cap is usually constructed with many layers of granular media, armor stone, and geotextiles.
Terradynamics has been used "to predict a small legged robot's locomotion on granular media".
