… The study presented in this paper is an attempt to propose an alternative non-local description
of dense granular flows that is able to describe both the quasi-static and liquid regime. …

… The aim of this article is to discuss the concepts of non-local rheology and fluidity, recently
introduced to describe dense granular flows. We review and compare various approaches …

… 2 A rheometer to probe non-local effects We have investigated non-local effects in granular
flows by means of DEM numerical simulations [22]. The system is two-dimensional and …

… non-local flow phenomena in granular materials and discusses a range of models that have
been proposed to integrate an intrinsic length-scale into granular rheology… strongly non-local …

… The numerical results are in quantitative agreement with the predictions of the non-local
rheology proposed by the present authors (Phys. Rev. Lett., 111 (2013) 238301) and derived …

… This result suggests that dense granular flows may indeed be described in terms of the local
… non-local effects because a local modification of the shear conditions could modify the flow …

… In this work, we implement the local μ ( I ) rheology law and its non-local modification in a …
-dimensional dense granular flows in both steady and transient states. The non-local effect on …

… flow field in incompressible, dense granular flows once the distributions of the stresses are
known. Another phenomenological, algebraic relation between the solid volume fraction and …

… length scale given through d, and hence the rheology is non-local in character. In the present
work, we are concerned with dense granular flows that are steady in a Lagrangian sense, …

… The dynamical mechanism at the origin of the non-local rheology of dense granular flows is
… in the network of granular contacts. Using a micro-rheology technique, we establish that the …
