The modeling of free-fall arch formation in granular flow through an aperture

In this study, to predict the formation of the free-fall arch via granular flow through an aperture, an analytical model has been developed based on the particle-scale force equilibrium. This model calculates the size and location of the meta-stable arch and can be extended to predict the granular f...
