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 …

In this Letter, we address the relationship between the statistical fluctuations of grain
displacements for a full quasistatic plane shear experiment, and the corresponding …

Granular materials are comprised of solid, athermal grains. Whilst immune to thermal
motion, these grains move and diffuse when they undergo shear deformation. Here we …

When granular materials flow, the constituent particles segregate by size and align by
shape. The impacts of these changes in fabric on the flow itself are not well understood, and …

In this work, we implement the local μ (I) rheology law and its non-local modification in a
PISO-VOF numerical scheme with a sharp-interface-capturing THINC method for two …

The atomisation of a suspension containing liquid and dispersed particles is prevalent in
many applications. Previous studies of droplet breakup mainly focused on homogeneous …

Cohesive granular materials such as wet sand, snow, and powders can flow like a viscous
liquid. However, the elementary mechanisms of momentum transport in such athermal …

In this work, we investigate the effect of particle shape, ranging from spherical to highly
concave, on steady flows in a rotating drum, a system that facilitates a continuous transition …

This Letter introduces unexpected diffusion properties in dense granular flows and shows
that they result from the development of partially jammed clusters of grains, or granular …

The rheology of dense granular flows is often seen as dependent on the nature of the
energy landscape defining the modes of energy relaxation under shear. We investigate …
