- For the first time DEM simulations shed light on the complex mechanisms occurring at the particle scale responsible for energy dissipation and momentum transfer in granular flows. The predictive ability of the simulations were rigorously validated against experimental data from literature. The work has been highly cited by the natural hazard mitigation engineering community and physicists. In fact results and methodology are significant for engineers tasked with the design of safety barriers to protect infrastructure and for physicists to investigate fundamental features of granular matter behaviour. The work was instrumental to the award of 2.4 million EU grant ‘Hercules’, https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/778360.
