Model for the flow of particulate matter with application to chutes. Quarterly technical report, June 1, 1985-August 31, 1985

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5253304
The application of a proposed constitutively-based model to the flow of dry, cohesionless granular materials down an inclined plane is initiated. This includes the formulation of free-surface grain temperature, mean velocity, and solids volume fraction boundary conditions. An experimental chute, which will be utilized to guide and evaluate the theoretical study, is described, and future experiments are discussed. 5 refs., 4 figs.
