Influence of roughness and dilatancy for dense granular flow along an inclined wall
Résumé
In a previous work [1], the flow velocity of a steady two-dimensional granular flow along an inclined wall was investigated. The scaling law for the velocity field was found in good agreement with recent experimental results. The purpose of the present paper is to reformulate in more systematic manner and in a somewhat more general context the equations of mass and momentum conservation for dense granular flow! and also to present some new results with particular emphasis on roughness influence and dynamic dilatancy. Theoretical results are found in good agreement with experiments.
