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

Surface flows of inelastic spheres
Diego Berzi,James T. Jenkins +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study flows of inelastic spheres on the surface of an erodible bed between frictional sidewalls and distinguish two regions in such flows: a dilute, diffuse region, neighboring the free surface, for which they solve a boundary-value problem based on the kinetic theory, and a dense algebraic layer, in which there is an approximate algebraic balance between production and dissipation of fluctuation energy.

Extended kinetic theory applied to dense, granular, simple shear flows
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply the extended kinetic theory (EKT) to the dense, simple shear flow of inelastic hard spheres and obtain analytical expressions for the radial distribution function at contact (which diverges at a concentration lower than the value at random close packing for sheared hard spheres) and the correlation length (i.e., decreasing factor of the dissipation rate) at different values of the coefficient of restitution.

Jamming and growth of dynamical heterogeneities versus depth for granular heap flow
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on grain dynamics versus depth for steady-state gravity-driven flow of grains along a heap formed between two parallel sidewalls, and find that velocity fluctuations grow relative to the average on approach to jamming.

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
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.
