Fig. 1

a X-ray CT scan of a cubic container filled with cylindrical particles, each with an aspect ratio (λ) of 10. b Schematic of the particle release process through a fixed funnel onto a rough tray, applicable to both experimental and simulation setups. When the system becomes stable, the mean angle of repose (θ) is measured.
