Abstract We apply a holistic two-dimensional (2D) Tetris-like model, where particles move based on prescribed rules, to investigate the flow rate enhancement from a hopper. This phenomenon was originally reported in the literature as a feature of placing an obstacle at an optimal location near the exit of a hopper discharging athermal granular particles under gravity. We find that this phenomenon is limited to a system of sufficiently many particles.
