Hydraulic transport regimes of grains in a millifluidic confinement

Granular matter transported by hydraulic conveying behaves under several transport regimes. The techncal challenge is to predict the dilute or dense regime of transport as well as the pressure drop required in order to design properly a granular hydraulic conveying system. We address this problem with a laboratory scale experimental setup able to reproduce the key features of hydraulic conveying of grains. Pressure drop measurements as well as...
