TLDR
A quantitative comparison between data coming from different experiments in the same geometry identifies the robust features in each case and a transverse analysis of the data across the different configurations allows to identify the relevant dimensionless parameters, the different flow regimes and to propose simple interpretations.Abstract:
The behaviour of dense assemblies of dry grains submitted to continuous shear deformation has been the subject of many experiments and discrete particle simulations. This paper is a collective work carried out among the French research group Groupement de Recherche Milieux Divises (GDR MiDi). It proceeds from the collection of results on steady uniform granular flows obtained by different groups in six different geometries both in experiments and numerical works. The goal is to achieve a coherent presentation of the relevant quantities to be measured i.e. flowing thresholds, kinematic profiles, effective friction, etc. First, a quantitative comparison between data coming from different experiments in the same geometry identifies the robust features in each case. Second, a transverse analysis of the data across the different configurations, allows us to identify the relevant dimensionless parameters, the different flow regimes and to propose simple interpretations. The present work, more than a simple juxtaposition of results, demonstrates the richness of granular flows and underlines the open problem of defining a single rheology.read more

Regime transitions of granular flow in a shear cell: a micromechanical study.
TL;DR: The regime transitions of granular flow in a model shear cell are investigated numerically with a stress-controlled boundary condition and it is shown that the connectivity among particles and the homogeneity in the shear flow increase as the system goes through the inertial, intermediate, and then quasistatic regimes, and there is only little variation in the internal structure after the system has entered the quAsistatic regime.

Size-dependence of the flow threshold in dense granular materials
Daren Liu,David L. Henann +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the question of whether the size-dependence of the flow threshold observed in inclined plane flow is configurationally general and show that flow threshold is indeed sizedependent in these flow configurations, displaying additional strengthening as the system size is reduced.

Finite element continuum modeling of vibrationally-fluidized granular flows
Kamyar Hashemnia,Jan K. Spelt +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a finite element (FE) continuum model of the vibrationally fluidized granular flow produced by a tub vibratory finisher was presented, where the constitutive equations governing the continuum model were calibrated using the discrete element method (DEM).

Effect of gas-particle interaction on roller spreading process in additive manufacturing
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the dynamics of powder spreading by a roller for a gas-atomised metal powder and analyse the combined effects of gas-particle interaction and interparticle adhesion on the particle flow in the heap and spread layer uniformity.

Compaction of granular material inside confined geometries
Benjy Marks,Benjy Marks,Bjørnar Sandnes,Guillaume Dumazer,Jon Alm Eriksen,Jon Alm Eriksen,Knut Jørgen Måløy +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the discrete element method to investigate the stress distribution developed within the granular packing as a result of compaction due to the displacement of a rigid piston, and observed that the stress within the packing increases exponentially with the length of accumulated grains, and show an extension to current analytic models which fits the measured stress.

Dynamics of viscoplastic deformation in amorphous solids
Michael L. Falk,James S. Langer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a dynamical theory of low-temperature shear deformation in amorphous solids is proposed based on molecular-dynamics simulations of a two-dimensional, two-component non-crystalline system.

Rapid granular flows
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the fluid-like behavior of granular solids and, in particular, those flows for which the material is rapidly sheared, and discuss various modeling techniques used to describe the motion of the bulk material.

TL;DR: In this article, Coulomb's method of wedges and differential slices were used to determine the stress and strain rate of Coulomb material, and the conical yield function was used to predict mass flow rate.

Granular flow down an inclined plane: Bagnold scaling and rheology
Leonardo E. Silbert,Deniz Ertas,Gary S. Grest,Thomas C. Halsey,Dov Levine,Steven J. Plimpton +5 more
TL;DR: 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, finds that a steady-state flow regime exists in which the energy input from gravity balances that dissipated from friction and inelastic collisions is found.
