Abstract

This paper presents a discrete element method (DEM) simulation of the drag force experienced by spherical shaped intruder moving along different paths in confined granular media. It is revealed that the drag force depends upon friction of both wall-particle and particle-particle and force profile is also affected by nearby walls. We also confirmed that the arch formation in the granular media is responsible for this peculiar behavior
