| Abstract: | The dynamics of intermittent granular flow through an orifice at the bottom of a granular bin and the associated clogging
due to formation of arches blocking the outlet, is studied numerically in two dimensions. When the hole size is less than
the grain diameter, only a single grain is removed from the system so that the system self-organizes to a steady state and
the distribution of the grain displacements decays as power laws. On the other hand, when hole sizes are within few times
of the grain diameter, the outflow distributions are also observed to follow a power law.
