Dynamics of immersed objects in a dense granular medium

Abstract

The continued efforts in understanding the motion of a solid object through a fluid medium has resulted in innovative designing of automobiles aircraft submarines etc Similarly the studies on the motion of a solid object through a granular medium can lead to designing vehicles or robots that can be used in rescue operations during and slides or snow avalanches or for exploring new terrains A thorough understanding of the intruder 8482 s motion through granular medium helps in mining drilling o...
