Data for figures

Data from Hong 2017 Fig. 5: data-fig5.txt. Format of data: text file, columns = (panel of figure, gravity in g, w/d, Pclog, symbol). Symbol explains what symbol of the figure the data corresponds to, which should be consistent with the value of gravity.

Data from Hong 2017 Fig. 6: data-fig6.txt. Format of data: text file, columns = (delta/d, w/d(Pclog=1/2), symbol).

Data from Tao 2021 Fig. 4: sigmoid_dat.txt. Format of data: text file, columns = (delta/d, w/d(Pclog=1/2), width s of sigmoid fit, particle type).


Representative simulation data

The data are in the format [x,y,radius,time,ID]. (Each particle has a unique ID number.) The simulation code is available on GitHub (written in IDL).

Arch data

These data are specifically from Tao et al, PRE 2021.

Starting with 800 soft particles, let them flow out of a hopper, see if they clog. If they clog, save the arch information and final state information:

Format of 'arch' data files:

Format of 'final' data files: [x, y, radius, final time, simulation number]. For example, the file final-w18g01.txt starts with the entry [0,0,0,0,0] indicating that simulation #0 did not clog. Then rows 2 through 130 have the form [x,y,r,2442,1] indicating that simulation #1 clogged at time 2442, with final particles in the positions given. Row 131 has the entry [0,0,0,0,2] indicating that simulation #2 did not clog.

If you take a histogram of column 47 of the three arches-w* files, that should reproduce Fig. 5(b) of Tao PRE 2021. Likewise Fig. 5(a) is derivable from that data although less directly.
