The $\mu(I)$-rheology has been recently proposed as a potential candidate to model the flow of frictional grains in a dense inertial regime. However, this rheology was shown to be ill-posed in the mathematical sense for a large range of…
Fluidisation is the process by which the weight of a bed of particles is supported by a gas flow passing through it from below. When fluidised materials flow down an incline, the dynamics of the motion differ from their non-fluidised…
Granular material in a silo with two openings can display a `flow rate dip', where a non-monotonic relationship between flow rate and orifice separation occurs. In this paper we study continuum modelling of the silo with two openings. We…
Granular material flowing on complex topographies are ubiquitous in industrial and geophysical situations. In this paper, we study the small-scale model of a granular layer flowing on a rough incline. The shape of a granular front is solved…
We investigate in detail the problem of confined pressure-driven laminar flow of neutrally buoyant non-Brownian suspensions using a frictional rheology based on the recent proposal of Boyer et al., 2011. The friction coefficient and solid…
In this paper, we introduce a mortar-based approach to discretizing flow in fractured porous media, which we term the mixed-dimensional flux coupling scheme. Our formulation is agnostic to the discretizations used to discretize the fluid…
Macroscopic and microscopic properties of dense granular layers flowing down inclined planes are obtained from Discrete-Element-Method simulations for both frictionless and frictional grains. Three fundamental observations for dense…
Finite-volume numerical method for study shallow water flows over an arbitrary bed profile in the presence of external force is proposed. This method uses the quasi-two-layer model of hydrodynamic flows over a stepwise boundary with…
Employing the discrete element method, we study the rheology of dense granular media mixtures, varying in size, density, and frictional properties of particles, across a spectrum from quasi-static to inertial regimes. By accounting for the…
Granular flows are ubiquitous in nature with single flows traversing a wide range of dynamic conditions from initiation to deposition. Many of these flows are responsible for significant hazards and have the ability to generate remotely…
We study the flow of equal-volume binary granular mixtures of spheres and dumbbells with different aspect ratios down a rough inclined plane, using the discrete element method. We consider two types of mixtures -- in the first type the…
We study the rheology of dense granular flows for frictionless spherocylinders by means of 3D numerical simulations. As in the case of spherical particles, the effective friction $\mu$ is an increasing function of the inertial number $I$,…
The constitutive relations of a dense granular flow composed of self-propelling frictional hard particles are investigated by means of DEM numerical simulations. We show that the rheology, which relates the dynamical friction $\mu$ and the…
Fluidized granular media have a rich rheology: measuring shear stress $\sigma$ as a function of shear rate $\dot\gamma$, they exhibit Newtonian behavior $\sigma\sim\dot\gamma$ for low densities and shear rates, develop a yield stress for…
In this paper we study the steady uniform flows that develop when granular material is released from a hopper on top of a static pile in a channel. We more specifically focus on the role of side walls by carrying out experiments in setup of…
Granular media take on great importance in industry and geophysics, posing a severe challenge to materials science. Their response properties elude known soft rheological models, even when the yield-stress discontinuity is blurred by…
The viscosity of fluids is generally understood in terms of kinetic mechanisms, i.e., particle collisions, or thermodynamic ones as imposed through structural distortions upon e.g. applying shear. Often the former is less relevant, and…
We consider the stable reconstruction of flow geometry and wall shear stress from measurements obtained by magnetic resonance imaging. As noted in a review article by Petersson, most approaches considered so far in the literature seem not…
Airflow simulation results depend on a good prediction of near wall turbulence. In this paper a comparative study between different near wall treatments is presented. It is applied to two test cases: (1) the first concerns the fully…
In this study, we focus on the modelling of coupled systems of shallow water flows and solute transport with source terms due to variable topography and friction effect. Our aim is to propose efficient and accurate numerical techniques for…
