We introduce the open-source package MercuryDPM, which we have been developing over last few years. MercuryDPM is a code for discrete particle simulations. It simulates motion of particles by applying forces and torques that stem either from external body forces, (gravity, magnetic fields, etc.) or interactions. The has developed extensively granular applications, in this case these are typically (elastic, plastic, viscous, frictional) contact (adhesive) short-range forces. However, it could...
We address the stability of superfluid currents in a system interacting lattice bosons. consider various Gutzwiller trial states for quantum phase model which provides good approximation Bose-Hubbard limit large interactions and boson populations. thoroughly analyze current-carrying stationary dynamics ensuing from Gaussian ansatz, derive analytical results critical lines signaling their modulational energetic instability, as well maximum carried current. show that these are qualitative...
We study the granular segregation in a tapered rotating drum by means of simulations. In this geometry, both radial and axial appear, strength which depends on filling fraction. effect drum's tapering angle speed show that, coherently with several recent studies, is due to combined shape drum. that behaves way analogous one found chute flows, corresponds previous theories for shallow gravity driven surface flows diffusion. By analogy, we drums could be simplest experimental set-up obtain...
