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

Submerged granular channel flows driven by gravity
TL;DR: In this article, a rheological model for gravity driven granular flows saturated with water is presented, which adopts the kinetic theory for the collisional regime, which is dominant near the free surface, while for the frictional regime a specific model, which matches the Coulombian condition at the boundary with the loose static bed.

Granular flows in a rotating drum: the scaling law between velocity and thickness of the flow
TL;DR: The results show that the flow of a dry granular material in a rotating drum is very sensible to the geometry, and that the deduction of the “rheology” of a granular medium flowing in such a geometry is not obvious.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted laboratory experiments on dam-break flows of sub-250-µm volcanic ash, generated by the release of gas-fluidized and variably nonexpanded to expanded (up to 35%) beds, in order to gain insights into the internal kinematics of pyroclastic flows.

Dense granular flow down an inclined plane: from kinetic theory to granular dynamics
TL;DR: In this article, the hydrodynamics of the dense granular flow of rough inelastic particles down an inclined plane is analyzed using constitutive relations derived from kinetic theory, and the first correction due to the conduction of energy is determined using asymptotic analysis, and is found to be $O(delta/h)^2$ smaller than the leading order volume fraction.

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.
