Granular flow down an inclined plane: Bagnold scaling and rheology.
We have performed a systematic, large-scale simulation study of granular media in two and three dimensions, investigating the rheology of cohesionless granular particles in inclined plane geometries, i.e., chute flows. We find that over a wide range of parameter space of interaction coefficients and inclination angles, a steady-state flow regime exists in which the energy input from gravity bal...
متن کاملVelocity autocorrelations and viscosity renormalization in sheared granular flows.
The decay of the velocity autocorrelation function in a sheared granular flow is analyzed in the limit where the wavelength of fluctuations is larger than the "conduction length," so that energy is a nonconserved variable. The decay of the velocity autocorrelation function is much faster than that in a fluid at equilibrium for which energy is a conserved variable. Specifically, the autocorrelat...
متن کاملPlug flow and the breakdown of Bagnold scaling in cohesive granular flows.
Cohesive granular media flowing down an inclined plane are studied by discrete element simulations. Previous work on cohesionless granular media demonstrated that within the steady flow regime where gravitational energy is balanced by dissipation arising from intergrain forces, the velocity profile in the flow direction scales with depth in a manner consistent with the predictions of Bagnold. H...
متن کاملLow-velocity granular drag in reduced gravity.
We probe the dependence of the low-velocity drag force in granular materials on the effective gravitational acceleration (g(eff)) through studies of spherical granular materials saturated within fluids of varying density. We vary g(eff) by a factor of 20, and we find that the granular drag is proportional to g(eff), i.e. that the granular drag, F(probe), on a vertical cylinder follows the expec...
متن کاملSimulations of dense granular gases in zero gravity with impact-velocity-dependent restitution coefficient
We report two-dimensional simulations of strongly vibrated granular materials in zero gravity. The coefficient of restitution depends on the impact velocity between particles by taking into account both the viscoelastic and plastic deformations of particles, occurring at low and high velocities respectively. Use of this realistic restitution coefficient leads to new unexpected behaviors. When t...
