Abstract

We study experimentally the jamming phenomenon of granular flow of monodisperse disks of D = 5 mm diameter in a two-dimensional hopper with opening R . The jamming probability J ( d ) is measured where d ≡ R / D . We found that J ( d ) decreases from 1 to zero when d increases from 2 to 5. From observing the disk configurations of the arch in the jamming events; the jamming probability can be explained quantitatively by treating the arch as the trajectory of a restricted random walker.
