Abstract

The experimental results from model silo tests are summarized. Quasistatic flow and dynamic flow of granular material was investigated in laboratory tests. In addition, the results of deformation measurements in dry cohesionless sand during free flow in model silos are described using 3 different non-invasive methods: particle image velocimetry, electrical capacitance tomography and x-ray tomography.
