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

Probability analysis of contact forces in quasi-solid-liquid phase transition of granular shear flow
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the discrete element model (DEM) to simulate a simple granular shear flow with period boundary condition on micro scale and obtained the probability distribution functions of the interparticle contact force in different shear-flow phases.

Gravity-driven dry granular slow flows down an inclined moving plane: a comparative study between two concepts of the evolution of porosity
TL;DR: In this article, the Muller-Liu entropy principle and the quasi-linear theory are employed to derive the ultimate constitutive models and the restrictions on their thermodynamic consistencies.

Investigation of pore closure during polar firn densification
TL;DR: In this article, a contact law based on indentation theory was proposed to predict firn densification, which takes into account the preferential viscoplastic deformation on the basal plane.

Slow granular flows: The dominant role of tiny fluctuations
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that agitations, tiny fluctuations of the grain positions, associated with large fluctuation of their contact forces, play a central role for slow granular flows.

TL;DR: In this paper, the local and global rheology of non-Brownian suspensions in a solvent that is not density-matched, leading to either creaming or sedimentation of the particles is studied.

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.

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.
