Dense inclined flows: Theory and experiments. Final report
Rapid, gravity-driven flows of granular materials down inclines pose a challenge to our understanding. Even in situations in which the flow is steady and two-dimensional, the details of how momentum ad energy are balanced within the flow and at the bottom boundary are not well understood. Thus we have undertaken a research program integrating theory, computer simulation, and experiment that focuses on such flows. the effort involves the development of theory informed by the results of simultaneous computer simulations and the construction, instrumentation, and use of an experimental facility in which the variables necessary to assess the success or failure of the theory can be measured. A goal of the project is to provide a sound theoretical and experimental base for a better understanding of the behavior and properties of multiphase flow and solid transport.
