Methods of Similitude in Granular Avalanche Flows
Snow avalanches are relatively dry and dense granular flows for which the Savage-Hutter (SH) equations have been demonstrated to be an adequate mathematical model. We review these equations and point out for which cases the equations have been tested against laboratory experiments. Since the equations are scale invariant and because agreement with experiments is good, laboratory experiments can...
متن کاملGranular forces from steady and avalanche flows on a wall-like obstacle: contribution to avalanche dam design
The present paper deals with the hydrodynamic force from granular streams overflowing a wall-like obstacle. An analytical continuum model is proposed to derive this force both for steady and unsteady flow conditions. The force derived from the continuum model is successfully compared to the time-averaged force from discrete numerical simulations of free-surface granular flows down an incline an...
متن کاملAvalanche Mixing of Granular Solids
– Mixing of two fractions of a granular material in a slowly rotating two-dimensional drum is considered. The rotation is around the axis of the upright drum. The drum is filled partially, and mixing occurs only at a free surface of the material. We propose a simple theory of the mixing process which describes a real experiment surprisingly well. The dependence of the mixing time on the drum fi...
متن کاملPulse propagation in decorated granular chains: An analytical approach.
We study pulse propagation in one-dimensional chains of spherical granules decorated with small grains placed between large granules. The effect of the small granules can be captured by replacing the decorated chains by undecorated chains of large granules of appropriately renormalized mass and effective interaction between the large granules. This allows us to obtain simple analytic expression...
متن کاملGranular Flows
Those who have played with sand on the beach or with sugar in their kitchen are aware that a collection of solid grains can behave macroscopically like a liquid and flow. However, the description of this peculiar fluid still represents a challenge due to the lack of constitutive laws able to describe the rich phenomenology observed. In this paper we first review the properties of dry granular f...
