Fig. 11: Clogging phase diagram at reduced gravity.

From: Behaviors of lunar regolith simulants under varying gravitational conditions

Fig. 11

Particle velocities throughout the funnel as a function of ϕ [0.001, 0.005, 0.01, 0.05] and g [0.01, 0.05, 0.1] G. As ϕ increases (left to right) and as g increases (bottom to top), the particles’ velocity exhibit the same behavior as above, such that a clear clogging transition occurs as a continuation of the diagonal line from the previous phase diagram, dividing the (ϕ,g)-space.
