Due to their simple geometric configuration and involved rich physics, rotating drums have
been widely used to elaborate granular flow dynamics, which is of significant importance in …

Discrete element method simulations are employed to quantitatively analyze the
contributions of strong and weak subnetworks to the shear strength of dense granular …

The rheology of dense granular flows is investigated through discrete element method
(DEM) simulation of a vane shear cell. From the simulation, profiles of shear stress, shear …

Exploration of the transient evolution of the rheological properties of dense inertial flow can
reveal the equilibrium mechanism of granular materials maintaining their own stability under …

Granular flow models are typically examined within steady isochoric systems where velocity
divergence equals zero and properties are uniform along streamlines. Within these flows …

Subglacial bedforms, which include drumlins, ribbed moraine, and megascale glacial
lineations, are ubiquitous features in regions which were once covered by ice sheets, and …

Granular flows display several complexities that make developing a viable continuum
description challenging. They exhibit complex, non-local behaviour, are compressible and …

Granular materials are deeply rooted in the long history of science and technology.
Furthermore, several industries process granular materials routinely, including chemical …
