Instability of power-law fluid flows down an incline subjected to wind stress
In this paper we investigate the effect of a prescribed superficial shear stress on the generation and structure of roll waves developing from infinitesimal disturbances on the surface of a power-law fluid layer flowing down an incline. The unsteady equations of motion are depth integrated according to the von Kármán momentum integral method to obtain a non-homogeneous system of nonlinear hyper...
متن کاملTransverse instability of avalanches in granular flows down an incline.
Avalanche experiments on an erodible substrate are analyzed using the "partial fluidization" model of dense granular flows. The model identifies a family of propagating solitonlike avalanches with shape and velocity controlled by the inclination angle and the depth of the substrate. At high inclination angles, the solitons display a transverse instability, followed by coarsening and fingering s...
متن کاملFlow rule of dense granular flows down a rough incline.
We present experimental findings on the flow rule for granular flows on a rough inclined plane using various materials, including sand and glass beads of various sizes and four types of copper particles with different shapes. We characterize the materials by measuring hs (the thickness at which the flow subsides) as a function of the plane inclination theta on various surfaces. Measuring the su...
متن کاملOn flows of an incompressible fluid with a discontinuous power-law-like rheology
We establish the mathematical theory for the steady and unsteady flows of fluids with discontinuous constitutive equations. We consider a model for a fluid that at certain critical value of the shear rate exhibits jumps in the generalized viscosity of a power-law type. Using tools such as Young measures, maximal monotone operators, compact embeddings and energy equality we prove the existence o...
متن کاملVolume fraction profile in channeled granular flows down an erodible incline
We use a momentum balance to interpret numerical simulations of dense, steady, fully-developed inclined granular flows of spheres on an erodible base confined between flat frictional side walls. We observe an exponential profile of mean volume fraction in the direction perpendicular to the base and suggest a scaling for its characteristic length. We also predict volume fraction and mean velocit...
