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 …

This article reviews the behavior of materials made up of a large assemblage of solid
particles under rapid and quasi static deformations. The focus is on flows at relatively high …

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 …

The rheology of granular particles in an inclined plane geometry is studied using three
dimensional molecular dynamics simulations. The flow–no-flow boundary is determined for …

We consider dense, relatively shallow flows of 3 mm glass spheres moving down a chute
with a flat, frictional base of 3.6 m length. Sustained flows are observed at inclinations …

The collisional flow of a slightly inelastic granular material down a rough inclined plane is
usually described by kinetic theories. We present an experimental study aimed at analysing …

This paper reports experimental findings on the flow of sand down a steep chute. Nearly all
granular flow models have a maximum value for the friction and therefore predict that flows …

Granular flows down inclined channels with smooth boundaries are common in nature and
industry. Nevertheless, flat boundaries have been much less investigated than bumpy ones …

Boundary effects in gravity-driven, dense granular flows down inclined planes are studied
using large-scale molecular dynamics simulations. We find that the flow behavior and …

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 …
