We have performed a systematic, large-scale simulation study of granular media in two- and three-dimensions, investigating the rheology of cohesionless granular particles in inclined plane geometries, i.e., chute flows. We find that over a…
In this paper we discuss some features of the BCRE model. We show that this model can be understood as a mapping from a two-dimensional to a one-dimensional problem, if some conditions are satisfied. We propose some modifications that (a)…
The rheology of granular particles in an inclined plane geometry is studied using molecular dynamics simulations. The flow--no-flow boundary is determined for piles of varying heights over a range of inclination angles $\theta$. Three…
We study the surface shape of two-dimensional piles using experiments and a continuum theory for surface flows of granular materials (the BCRE equations). We first obtain an analytical solution to the BCRE equations with a simple…
Surface flow of granular material is investigated within a continuum approach in two dimensions. The dynamics is described by a non-linear coupling between the two `states' of the granular material: a mobile layer and a static bed.…
Granular surface flows are common in industrial practice and natural systems, however, theoretical description of such flows is at present incomplete. Two prototype systems involving surface flow are compared: heap formation by pouring at a…
We develop a continuum description of partially fluidized granular flows. Our theory is based on the hydrodynamic equation for the flow coupled with the order parameter equation which describes the transition between flowing and static…
The integral method can be used to model accurately flows down an inclined plane. Such a method consists in projecting the full 3D equations on a lower dimensional representation. The vertical velocity profiles have their functional form…
We present simulations of granular flows in a modified Couette cell, using a continuum model recently proposed for dense granular flows. Based on a friction coefficient, which depends on an inertial number, the model captures the positions…
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…
We introduce a system of shallow water-type equations to model laboratory experiments of particle-laden flows. We explore homogeneous liquid-solid suspensions of fine, non-cohesive, monodisperse glass beads which propagate as an equivalent…
We present a description of granular dynamics based on the idea of differentiation between fluid and solid components. First, we construct a model of completely fluidized phase. Then we discuss a shear surface motion on the boundary of the…
The rheology of surface granular flows is investigated by means of measurements of velocity and number density profiles in a quasi-two-dimensional rotating cylinder, half-filled with mono-disperse steel balls. The measurements are made at…
Gravity-driven flows of granular matter are involved in a wide variety of situations, ranging from industrial processes to geophysical phenomena, such as avalanches or landslides. These flows are characterized by the coexistence of solid…
Flows of granular media down a rough inclined plane demonstrate a number of nonlocal phenomena. We apply the recently proposed nonlocal granular fluidity model to this geometry and find that the model captures many of these effects.…
A continuum description of granular flows would be of considerable help in predicting natural geophysical hazards or in designing industrial processes. However, the constitutive equations for dry granular flows, which govern how the…
We experimentally investigate how a long granular pile confined in a narrow channel destabilizes when it is inclined above the angle of repose. A uniform flow then develops, which is localized at the free surface. It first accelerates…
We theoretically and numerically investigate the steady flow of two-dimensional granular materials in a rotating drum using the discrete element method and a continuum model with the $\mu(I)$-rheology. The velocity fields obtained from both…
Granular flows down inclined channels with smooth boundaries are common in nature and in the industry. Nevertheless, the common setup of flat boundaries has comparatively been much less investigated than the bumpy boundaries one, which is…
We present in this Letter experimental results on the bidimensional flow field around a cylinder penetrating into dense granular matter together with drag force measurements. A hydrodynamic model based on extended kinetic theory for dense…
