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

Observations of grain-scale interactions and simulation of dry granular flows in a large-scale flume
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of 30 tests on dry granular flows were performed using a large-scale flume under varying source volumes and basal friction conditions to capture grain-scale interactions and their impact o...

Particle dynamics in avalanche flow of irregular sand particles in the slumping regime of a rotating drum
TL;DR: In this paper, a speckle visibility spectroscopy (SVS) along with a simple imaging technique was used to measure the time-resolved avalanching of 1.3mm diameter sand particles in a 35% full rotating drum operating in the slumping regime.

A three-dimensional continuum model incorporating static and kinetic effects for granular flows with applications to collapse of a two-dimensional granular column
TL;DR: Lee et al. as mentioned in this paper extended a one-dimensional continuum model for granular flows down inclined planes to solve three-dimensional problems involving both static and flow states, which decomposes the shear stress and pressure into enduring contact and kinetic components.

Current challenges for preseismic electromagnetic emissions: shedding light from micro-scale plastic flow, granular packings, phase transitions and self-affinity notion of fracture process
K. Eftaxias,S. M. Potirakis +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a three-stage model for EQ generation by means of preseismic fracture-induced EM emissions is proposed, and the claim that the observed EM precursors may permit a real-time and step-by-step monitoring of the EQ generation is tested.

The force exerted by granular flows on slit dams
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a discrete element method (DEM) model to carry out a parametric study as a function of grain size, slit width and channel slope, and found that the pressure near the slit of a slit dam can be almost double than elsewhere on the dam.

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.

Granular flow down an inclined plane: Bagnold scaling and rheology
Leonardo E. Silbert,Deniz Ertas,Gary S. Grest,Thomas C. Halsey,Dov Levine,Steven J. Plimpton +5 more
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.
