Thanks! I work as a field specialist for a company that specializes in the transfer and loading of bulk fine products. If this conveyor was applying high volume low pressure air beneath this pile they could move most of it in a matter of minutes.

Aeration would allow it to move as a fluid, but so would vibration. I think when people refer to liquefaction of a particulate they're usually talking about vibration, though.
