Summary
The particle discharge process from a vertical open-top pipe with a capillary outlet reveals some exceptions to the common belief that the outflux oscillation results solely from dynamic arching of beads at the orifice and that the outflux is not sensitive to the filling height. With beads of a particular size range, the outflux fluctuates greatly with time and the bulk dense granular flow in the pipe shows stop-and-go motion when the filling height is above a threshold. When the filling height falls to the threshold, led by a transitional stage, the outflux and the bulk movement become stable. The dropping velocity variation of the upper surface is measured to study the bulk motion in the pipe. With a heuristic theory, we find that the granular compaction and interstitial air pressure effect are responsible for the stop-and-go oscillation and the transitional behavior.
