Influence of geometry on stratification and segregation phenomena in bidimensional piles

Benito, J.G.; Uñac, R.O.; Vidales, A.M.; Ippolito, I. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 396 (2014) C, pp. 19-28

We present a numerical study of the flow segregation problem in bidimensional piles. To simulate the pile formation, we employ a pseudo-dynamics method. The model allows us to vary the concentration of big and small grains present in the pile and the size ratio between them. The different...

On the Distribution of Income and Worker Assignment under Intra-Firm Spillovers, with an Application to Ideas And Networks
