A theoretical and numerical study of the flow of granular materials. Quarterly report, April 1, 1992--June 30, 1992
Linearized stability equations for flow of granular materials down an inclined plane are derived for a continuum model [cf. Goodman and Cowin (1971), Rajagopal and Massoudi (1990)]. The basic flow exhibits multiplicity of solutions, one in which the volume fraction increases monotonically from the inclined plane to the free surface, and the other in which the volume fraction increases monotonically. Solutions to the basic equations were presented in the previous report. Next, we have to solve the stability equations, numerically.
