Research title:

The Influence of Magnetic Cohesion on the Stability of Granular Slopes
|
|
Research interest:
|
When placed in a very strong magnetic field, magnetic dipole moments are induced in weakly magnetic particles. These dipole moments interact, resulting in magnetic cohesion between the particles. One parameter used as a measure of cohesion is the angle of repose of a granular pile. We have investigated the effect of magnetic cohesion on the angle of repose, using two-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations of granular piles.
