Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Molecular dynamics methods are used to study two-dimensional gravity-driven granular flow through a horizontal aperture. Two distinct approaches to modeling the granular particles are studied. (a) Circular particles subject to a strongly repulsive short-range interaction, together with normal and tangential frictional damping forces. (b) Rigid nonconvex particles, each consisting of disks arranged as an equilateral triangle, suitably spaced to provide a tangible indentation along each edge; the same repulsive interactions between disks in different grains and normal frictional damping forces are incorporated, but transverse damping is omitted, with the model relying on grain shape to resist sliding motion. In order to allow accurate measurements under steady-state conditions, a continuous-feed approach is adopted, in which grains exiting through the hole are returned to the top of the material in the container. For both models the output flow is measured as a function of aperture size, and the observed behavior is compared with previous theoretical and experimental results. Tests of the degree to which the models reproduce the depth independence of the flow are reported, and the influence of the container width and the nature of the walls are studied. The depth dependence of the pressure, the local stress distribution, and the particle flow patterns are also examined. © 1997 The American Physical Society.
