In this communication, we present a new lengthscale-based rheology for dense sheared particle suspensions as they transition from inertial- to viscous-dominated. We derive a lengthscale ratio using straightforward physics-based…

We investigate the bulk rheology of dense granular flow down a rough slope, where the density profile has been found to show a plateau except for the boundary layers in simulations [Silbert {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 64}, 051302…

The rheology of dense sheared granular liquids is investigated based on the mode-coupling theory (MCT). This extended MCT includes correlations for the density-current mode as well as the density-density correlation mode, and a…

Granular solid hydrodynamics (GSH) is a continuum-mechanical theory for granular media, the range of which is shown in this paper. Simple, frequently analytic solutions are related to classic observations at different shear rates,…

Granular materials such as sand, powders, and grains are omnipresent in daily life, industrial applications, and earth-science [1]. When unperturbed, they form stable structures that resemble the ones of other amorphous solids like metallic…

Considering recent results revealing the existence of multi-scale rigid clusters of grains embedded in granular surface flows, i.e. flows down an erodible bed, we describe here the surface flows rheology through a non-local constitutive…

Based on discrete element method simulations, we propose a new form of the constitution equation for granular flows independent of packing fraction. Rescaling the stress ratio $\mu$ by a power of dimensionless temperature $\Theta$ makes the…

The linear stability of viscous Keplerian flow around a gravitating center is studied using the rheological granular fluid model. The linear rheological instability triggered by the interplay of the shear rheology and Keplerian differential…

A numerical procedure was developed for solving equations for compressible granular multiphase flows in which the particle volume fraction can range dynamically from very dilute to very dense. The procedure uses a low-dissipation and…

To acquire the ability to numerically study the rheology of particulate two-phase flows that lack scale separation, we present a general method to average or coarse-grain the equations of motion of a mixture of a continuous fluid of…

This article will use arguments derived from the deformation driven component of mixing, especially important for microfluidics, to show that the standard invariant based approaches to rheology are lacking. It is shown that the deviator,…

The similarity in atomic structure between liquids and glasses has stimulated a long-standing hypothesis that the nature of glasses may be more fluid like, rather than an apparent solid. In principle, the nature of glasses can be…

Shear flow of dense, non-Brownian suspensions is simulated using the discrete element method, taking particle contact and hydrodynamic lubrication into account. The resulting flow regimes are mapped in the parametric space of solid volume…

One great challenge of modeling granular systems lies in capturing the rheologic dependencies on scale. For example, there are marked differences between quasi-static, intermediate, and rapid flow regimes. In this study, we demonstrate that…

The flow of dense suspensions, glasses, and granular materials is heavily influenced by frictional interactions between constituent particles. However, neither hydrodynamics nor friction has successfully explained the full range of flow…

Granular simulations are used to probe the particle scale dynamics at short, intermediate, and long time scales for gravity driven, dense granular flows down an inclined plane. On approach to the angle of repose, where motion ceases, the…

We address the problem of steady laminar flow of a shear-thinning fluid in rectangular ducts, which is encountered in many systems, in particular, in microfluidic and biomedical devices. However, an exact solution for the flow of…

Using mean field theory and a mesoscale elastoplastic model, we analyze the steady state shear rheology of thermally activated amorphous solids. At sufficiently high temperature and driving rates, flow is continuous and described by…

We propose a unified approach to the formal long-wave reduction of several fluid models for thin-layer incompressible homogeneous flows driven by a constant external force like gravity. The procedure is based on a mathematical coherence…

These are notes prepared for presentation at the workshop "Challenges in Granular Matter" at the Abdus Salam Institute for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, August 2001. Revisions and figures will be added at a later date. Many features of real…
