Granular Flow, Collisional Cooling and Charged Grains
نویسندگان
چکیده
The non-Newtonian character of granular flow in a vertical pipe is analyzed. The time evolution of the flow velocity and the velocity fluctuations (or granular temperature) is derived. The steady state velocity has a power law dependence on the pipe width with an exponent between 3/4 and 3/2. The flow becomes faster the more efficient the collisional cooling is, provided the density remains low enough. The dependence of collisional cooling on the solid fraction, the restitution coefficient and a possible electric charge of all grains is discussed in detail.

Granular Segregation in Collisional Shearing Flows
This paper considers segregation in collisional granular shearing ows from the experimental, computational, and theoretical standpoints. We focus on a phenomenon of segregation where the separation of grains by size or mass is driven by spatial gradients in the uctuation energy of the grains. We report experiments carried out in microgravity with a shear cell shaped as a race track and containi...
متن کاملA new constitutive law for dense granular flows
In many geophysical or industrial applications involving flows of grains, a continuum description would be of considerable help, for example in predicting natural hazards or in designing industrial processes. However, constitutive equations for dry granular flows are still matter of debates 1-10. One difficulty is that grains can behave like a solid (in a sand pile), a liquid (when poured from ...
متن کاملSteady Flow and its Instability of Gravitational Granular Flow
Granular matter consists of a large number of macroscopic particles; the thermal noise has no effect on the particle motion and the interactions are dissipative. These features make the granular flow very different from molecular fluids. One of the simplest situations to see the complex behavior of granular flow is the gravitational granular flow on a slope. When the inclination angle is small ...
متن کاملSimulations of the dust acoustic instability in a collisional plasma with warm dust
Dust acoustic (or dust density) waves have been observed in many laboratory dusty plasmas. These low-frequency waves involve the dynamics of highly charged and massive dust grains, and can be excited by the flow of ions relative to dust. In this paper, we consider the nonlinear development of the dust acoustic instability, excited by thermal ion flow, in a collisional plasma containing dust wit...
متن کاملElectromagnetic streaming instabilities of magnetized accretion disks with strong collisional coupling of species
Abstract. Electromagnetic streaming instabilities of multicomponent collisional magnetized accretion disks are studied. Sufficiently ionized regions of the disk are explored where there is strong collisional coupling of neutral atoms with both ions and dust grains simultaneously. The steady state is investigated in detail and the azimuthal and radial background velocities of species are calcula...
