(1/2) @SantiagoPolana did it again!

We experimentally proof that the grain size distribution does not have an effect on the mobility of dry granular columns, but it does in immersed conditions.

GEOLAB has a podcast series! GEOLAB is releasing a podcast series by @c_abrer_a Stefano Muraro and William Ovalle Villamil with 3 episodes which will delve into the experiences of participants in the Next Generation of Researchers Training Workshops in the Networking Events.

Glad to host the first steps of this vibro hammer @TUDelft_CT... the insights gained from this work will certainly impact on the #energytransition

The following video presents the driving of the 25mm diameter and 210mm long hollow steel tube under 1kHz vertical vibrations for a https://t.co/pk4xDlCik9 eccentric moment and a static mass of 73g.

Latest paper: with @dacantor & Carlos Ovalle we show (and explain why) that the currently accepted construction of effective and capillary stress tensors for wet granular assemblies is no longer valid in polydisperse granular material !

(2/2) Despite this, we confirm that a simple mobility model accurately correlates the column mobility with its kinetic energy!

Fabulous collaboration with @AzemaEmilien, @NEstradaMejia and M. Renouf from @umontpellier & @inguniandes

#InformeEspecial | El asbesto está prohibido en Colombia desde 2021, pero el cáncer que produce sigue dejando víctimas. Por esta razón un grupo de investigadores se puso a la tarea de buscar esa peligrosa fibra mineral y finalmente la encontró oculta en el municipio de Sibaté, Cundinamarca.

Real proud of @SantiagoPolana PhD defense! It has been an honor and can give faith of a wonderful person and excellent researcher!

[Miguel Cabrera @c_abrer_a]

Interested in working on granular flows and their interaction with offshore infrastructure?

Join us for a 1-yr postdoc together with @ale_leonardi, simulating and testing at @sheffielduni and @tudelft!

[Alessandro Leonardi @ale_leonardi]

We have a 1-year postdoc position in Offshore Geohazards research in my department 🌊

This is an opportunity to work with me and @c_abrer_a at @tudelft on geotechnical modelling of submarine landslides. Full job description and application portal here:

Last paper!We developed new experimental method based on 3D "Digital Volume Correlation" to -experimentally- track the mechanisms in play during the compaction of highly soft grains packing deep in the jammed state.

@ParticlePrincez @PhysRevFluids Thanks Kimberly!

[Miguel Cabrera @c_abrer_a]

Curious about how grain's shape and orientation affects the mobility of a granular flow when interacting with a fluid? 🌊🥢🌲
Nathan Coppin did a fantastic work in exploring the motion of elongated grains in our recent publication at @PhysRevFluids

[Miguel Cabrera @c_abrer_a]

This was a fantastic collaboration with N. Coppin, M. Henry, V. Legat and J. Lambrechts @UCLouvain_be, and @AzemaEmilien and F. Dubois @LmgcMontpellier

Looking forward to the next adventures!

[Miguel Cabrera @c_abrer_a]

🤯 Surprisingly, the dynamics of elongated grains mimic the mobility of circular grains!

This is well captured by a simplified mobility model (formulated by @SantiagoPolana), confirming the dependency of the column initial geometry and packing fraction!
