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

Modelling size segregation of granular materials: The roles of segregation, advection and diffusion
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed and implemented a theoretical model that captures the interplay between advection, segregation and diffusion in size bidisperse granular materials, and the model yields two dimensionless control parameters, both of which are only functions of control parameters (feed rate, particle sizes and system size) and kinematic parameters (diffusion coefficient, flowing layer depth, and percolation velocity).

Shear zones and wall slip in the capillary flow of concentrated colloidal suspensions
TL;DR: The flow of a nearly random close packed, hard-sphere colloidal suspension (a "paste") in a square capillary using confocal microscopy shows that the velocity profiles can be captured by a theory of stress fluctuations originally developed for chute flow of dry granular media.

Theory for shear-induced segregation of dense granular mixtures
Yi Fan,Kimberly Hill +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a model for shear-induced segregation in dense mixtures of different sized particles, which is comprised of two primary parts: a tendency of a gradient in kinetic stress, associated with velocity fluctuation correlations, to drive all particles toward regions of low shear rate.

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.
