Stability analysis of rapid granular chute flows : formation of longitudinal vortices
In a recent article (Forterre & Pouliquen 2001), we have reported a new instability observed in rapid granular flows down inclined planes that leads to the spontaneous formation of longitudinal vortices. From the experimental observations, we have proposed an instability mechanism based on the coupling between the flow and the granular temperature in rapid granular flows. In order to investigat...
متن کاملLongitudinal vortices in granular flows.
We present a new instability observed in rapid granular flows down rough inclined planes. For high inclinations and flow rates, the free surface of the flow experiences a regular deformation in the transverse direction. Measurements of the surface velocities imply that this instability is associated with the formation of longitudinal vortices in the granular flow. From the experimental observat...
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...
متن کاملRapid Granular Flows
A granular material is a collection of a large number of discrete solid particles. Generally, the interstices between the particles are filled with a fluid such as air or water, and thus, technically, a granular flow is a multiphase process. However, if the particles are closely packed or if they are much denser than the interstitial fluid, the particles alone--and not the fluid or the fluid-pa...
متن کاملLinear stability analysis of rapid granular flow on a slope and density wave formation
The linear stability of rapid granular flow on a slope under gravity is analyzed using hydrodynamic equations. It is demonstrated that the steady uniform flow becomes unstable against the long-wavelength perturbations longitudinal to the flow direction for a certain parameter range to form the density wave. The results are compared with our previous molecular dynamics simulations (Mitarai & Nak...
