In the previous report the governing equations were derived for the flow of granular materials down an inclined plane using the kinetic theory based model proposed by Boyle and Massoudi (1990). For a fully developed flow of these materials down an inclined plane, the equations reduce to a system of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations. In this report, the resulting boundary value problem is solved numerically and a parametric study is carried out to delineate how the various non-dimensional parameters affect the structure of the solution.
