The spot model has been developed by Bazant and co-workers to describe quasistatic granular flows. It assumes that granular flow is caused by the opposing flow of so-called spots of excess free volume, with spots moving along the slip lines…

Generic coarse-grained models are designed such that they are (i) simple and (ii) computationally efficient. They do not aim at representing particular materials, but classes of materials, hence they can offer insight into universal…
