The burst sizes can be measured (in number of people) Obstacle effect An obstacle properly placed in front of the exit leads to an improvement of the evacuation. Clogs and the evacuation time are reduced. 6 tests without obstacle. 4 tests with obstacle. iker@unav.es http://www.unav.es/centro/gralunarlab 2nd IMA Conference on Dense Granular Flows Cambridge, 1-4 July, 2013.

  10. Experimental procedure Daily, sheep are taken out of the yard. The yard is cleaned and food is placed inside it. When the yard is opened again, all the sheep crowd together in front of the door. Door width = 77 cm Sheep width ~ 35 cm (Soft) Around 100 sheep The experiment consists on: 20 tests without obstacle 20 tests with an obstacle of 117 cm diameter placed 80 cm behind the door (with the same sheep). iker@unav.es http://www.unav.es/centro/gralunarlab 2nd IMA Conference on Dense Granular Flows Cambridge, 1-4 July, 2013.

  16. But the dynamics in silos are completely different… …once the system is clogged, the flow is not resumed by itself. Vibrated silo. iker@unav.es http://www.unav.es/centro/gralunarlab 2nd IMA Conference on Dense Granular Flows Cambridge, 1-4 July, 2013.

  17. Vibrated silo • Let the grains flow until an arch forms and stops the outpouring. • Apply a vibration (constant amplitude G, constant frequency). • Detect the arch breaking and measure the time it has taken. • Empty the silo and repeat the experience. vibrating plate iker@unav.es http://www.unav.es/centro/gralunarlab 2nd IMA Conference on Dense Granular Flows Cambridge, 1-4 July, 2013.

  23. Summary. • Avalanche and burst size distributions  exponential decay. • Clogging time distributions  power-law decays with exponent (a). • a< 2  mean clogging time diverges, average flow rate cannot be defined. • Going from a≥ 2 to a< 2 can be viewed as a clogging transition. • In a vibrated silo, the system can be unclogged increasing G or R. • Placing the obstacle in the sheep case has a similar effect (decreasing a) than reducing the layer of grains in a vibrated silo (pressure?).

Work in progress. • Do people behave like sheep? (D. Parisi, UBA) • Can this be generalized to colloids? (R. Cruz-Hidalgo & I.
