On dense granular flows.
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

Geometry-dependent constitutive law for granular slow frictional drag
TL;DR: In this paper, the geometry-dependent granular frictional constitutive law for very slow vertical withdrawing of a thin rod from a granular bed is examined using a very precise creep meter, and the authors find that the geometry of the system is much more crucial to characterize granular friction in a very slow withdrawing regime.

Propagation and attenuation of pulses driven by low velocity normal impacts in granular media
Alice C. Quillen,Max Neiderbach,B. Suo,Juliana South,Esteban Wright,N. P. Skerrett,Paul Sánchez,Fernando David C'unez,Peter M. Miklavcic +8 more
TL;DR: In this article , an advection-diffusion model is used to estimate the dependence of pulse properties as a function of travel distance from the site of impact to a power of -2.5 and this rapid decay is approximately consistent with the experimental measurements.

Effects of mud slurry on flow resistance of cohesionless coarse particles
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of mud slurry on the flow resistance of cohesionless particles in debris flow was investigated, and it was found that the mud has no significant effects on the frictional coefficient of coarse particles.

Rheology of a dense granular bed penetrated by a rotating impeller
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the resistance exhibited by a granular bed as a rotating impeller is penetrated into it, from which the rheological characteristics of the bed are deduced.

Self-driven jamming in growing microbial populations

TL;DR: The results suggest that self-driven jamming and build-up of large mechanical pressures is a natural tendency of microbes growing in confined spaces, contributing to microbial pathogenesis and biofouling.

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

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.
