a Alumina beads; b Silica sand No. 5; and c Toyoura sand. The particle velocity was measured at the centre position immediately below the orifice (x-y plane with 5 mm ×15 mm, and 1 mm length in the z direction). The error bar denotes 95%CI. The measurement method and measured data of particle velocity are available in Supplementary Methods.
