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

Stability analysis of Couette flows of spatially inhomogeneous complex fluids
TL;DR: In this paper, the stability of unidirectional Couette flows of a spatially inhomogeneous complex fluid is investigated via a linear stability analysis via the employment of a classical normal-mode analysis, which results in a fourth-order polynomial eigenvalue problem that is solved numerically via a Chebyshev method.

Granular fluids with solid friction and heating
TL;DR: In this paper, large-scale molecular dynamics simulations were performed to study heated granular fluids in three dimensions and the velocity distribution in the steady state showed a non-Gaussian distribution.

Precursors and triggering mechanisms of granular avalanches
TL;DR: In this article, an overview of the acoustic probing methods used to detect precursors and to probe internal reorganizations in the bulk of the granular layer is presented. But the authors focus on the detection of small rearrangements implying only a few grains are first detected.

From Quasi-static to Intermediate Regimes in Shear Cell Devices: Theory and Characterisation
TL;DR: In this article, a critical review of available techniques to characterise the departure from the quasi-static regime into an intermediate flow is presented, highlighting the complexity in the standardisation and the challenges in advancing towards a universal model.

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.

Statics and Kinematics of Granular Materials
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.
