Granular gravitational collapse and chute flow
– Inelastic grains in a flow under gravitation tend to collapse into states in which the relative normal velocities of two neighboring grains is zero. If the time scale for this gravitational collapse is shorter than inverse strain rates in the flow, we propose that this collapse will lead to the formation of “granular eddies”, large scale condensed structures of particles moving coherently wit...
متن کاملContinuum Modelling of Traffic Flow
We wish to consider the problem of modelling flow of vehicles within a traffic network. In the past, stochastic traffic models have been developed [13, 8] in order to investigate a wide range of traffic configurations. However, if the population is sufficiently large, these stochastic processes tend towards a continuum approach. Consequently, this approach is most useful when considering long, ...
متن کاملChannelized free-surface flow of cohesionless granular avalanches in a chute with shallow lateral curvature
A series of laboratory experiments and numerical simulations have been performed to investigate the rapid fluid-like flow of a finite mass of granular material down a chute with partial lateral confinement. The chute consists of a section inclined at 40◦ to the horizontal, which is connected to a plane run-out zone by a smooth transition. The flow is confined on the inclined section by a shallo...
متن کاملAssessing continuum postulates in simulations of granular flow
Continuum mechanics relies on the fundamental notion of a mesoscopic volume ‘‘element’’ in which properties averaged over discrete particles obey deterministic relationships. Recent work on granular materials suggests that a continuum law may be inapplicable, revealing inhomogeneities at the particle level, such as force chains and slow cage breaking. Here, we analyze large-scale three-dimensio...
متن کاملMixing and segregation of granular materials in chute flows.
Mixing of granular solids is invariably accompanied by segregation, however, the fundamentals of the process are not well understood. We analyze density and size segregation in a chute flow of cohesionless spherical particles by means of computations and theory based on the transport equations for a mixture of nearly elastic particles. Computations for elastic particles (Monte Carlo simulations...
