The result is compared with the simulation of the vertical plug conveying. The dynamics of a slug are described by porosity, velocity and force profiles. Their dependence on simulation parameters provides an overall picture of slug conveying.13 pages, 23 figures, to be published in Granular MatterOther Condensed MatterStatistical Mechanicstext
