Stochastic flow rule for granular materials.
There have been many attempts to derive continuum models for dense granular flow, but a general theory is still lacking. Here, we start with Mohr-Coulomb plasticity for quasi-two-dimensional granular materials to calculate (average) stresses and slip planes, but we propose a "stochastic flow rule" (SFR) to replace the principle of coaxiality in classical plasticity. The SFR takes into account t...
متن کاملFlow of wet granular materials.
The transition from frictional to lubricated flows of a dense suspension of non-Brownian particles is studied. The pertinent parameter characterizing this transition is the Leighton number Le=eta(s)gamma / sigma, the ratio of lubrication to frictional forces. Le defines a critical shear rate below which no steady flow without localization exists. In the frictional regime the shear flow is local...
متن کاملThe Stochastic Flow Rule: A Multi-Scale Model for Granular Plasticity
In spite of many attempts to model dense granular flow, there is still no general theory capable of describing different types of flows, such as gravity-driven drainage in silos and wall-driven shear flows in Couette cells. Here, we summarize our recent proposal of the Stochastic Flow Rule (SFR), which is able to describe these cases in good agreement with experiments, and we focus on testing t...
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 کاملFlow rule, self-channelization, and levees in unconfined granular flows.
Unconfined granular flows along an inclined plane are investigated experimentally. During a long transient, the flow gets confined by quasistatic banks but still spreads laterally towards a well-defined asymptotic state following a nontrivial process. Far enough from the banks a scaling for the depth averaged velocity is obtained, which extends the one obtained for homogeneous steady flows. Clo...
