Granular flow down an inclined plane is ubiquitous in geophysical and industrial applications. On rough inclines, the flow exhibits Bagnold's velocity profile and follows the so-called $\mu(I)$ local rheology. On insufficiently rough or…
Active Flux is a third order accurate numerical method which evolves cell averages and point values at cell interfaces independently. It naturally uses a continuous reconstruction, but is stable when applied to hyperbolic problems. In this…
The Discrete Particle Method (DPM) is used to model granular flows down an inclined chute. We observe three major regimes: static piles, steady uniform flows and accelerating flows. For flows over a smooth base, other (quasi-steady) regimes…
We probe the three dimensional flow structure and rheology of gravitational (non-density matched) suspensions for a range of driving rates in a split-bottom geometry. We establish that for sufficiently slow flows, the suspension flows as if…
We study in this work steady laminar flows in a low density granular gas modelled as a system of identical smooth hard spheres that collide inelastically. The system is excited by shear and temperature sources at the boundaries, which…
Non-Newtonian fluid flow might be driven by spatially nonlocal velocity, the dynamics of which can be described by promising fractional derivative models. This short communication proposes a space FrActional-order Constitutive Equation…

Non-Newtonian rheology is widely acknowledged in subsurface fluids, yet its presence and effects are largely ignored in current fracture-flow studies. Here, we simulate fracture flow of non-Newtonian polymer solutions on a several…
A recent first-principles approach to the non-linear rheology of dense colloidal suspensions is evaluated and compared to simulation results of sheared systems close to their glass transitions. The predicted scenario of a universal…
For simulating incompressible flows by projection methods. it is generally accepted that the pressure-correction stage is the most time-consuming part of the flow solver. The objective of the present work is to develop a fast hybrid…
Rotating turbulent flows form a challenging test case for large-eddy simulation (LES). We, therefore, propose and validate a new subgrid-scale (SGS) model for such flows. The proposed SGS model consists of a dissipative eddy viscosity term…
