Abstract

Using particle image velocimetry (PIV) we studied experimentally the whole velocity field during the discharge of monodisperse granular material from a flat-bottomed 2D silo. We have characterized important quantities of this flow such as the transversal flow oscillations, the mean velocity field and the velocity fluctuations.
