Gas-solid fluidization technology has been commercialized in many industrial applications
since its implementation in the fluid catalytic cracking process in the early 1940s, however …

This review focuses on how the modeling of dense granular media has advanced over the
last 15 years. The jum**-off point of our review is the μ (I) rheology for dry granular flow …

Sand, rice, sugar, snow, cement... Although ubiquitous in our daily lives, granular media still
challenge engineers and fascinate researchers. This book provides the state-of-the-art of the …

Granular materials are ubiquitous in our daily lives. While they have been the subject of
intensive engineering research for centuries, in the last two decades granular matter has …

We investigate the rheology of granular materials via molecular dynamics simulations of
homogeneous, simple shear flows of soft, frictional, noncohesive spheres. In agreement with …

The Multiphase Flow Handbook, Second Edition is a thoroughly updated and reorganized
revision of the late Clayton Crowe's work, and provides a detailed look at the basic concepts …

Based on discrete element method simulations, we propose a new form of the constitutive
equation for granular flows independent of packing fraction. Rescaling the stress ratio μ by a …

Previous results of discrete simulations of steady, unidirectional particle flows, here collected
and critically reanalyzed, permit to make the case that the kinetic theory of granular gases …

We analyze the main features of granular shear flow through experimental measurements in
a Couette geometry and a comparison to a locally Newtonian, continuum model of granular …

This paper reviews the emergence of non-local flow phenomena in granular materials and
discusses a range of models that have been proposed to integrate an intrinsic length-scale …
