Model for the flow of particulate matter with application to chutes. Quarterly technical report, March 1-May 31, 1986

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5564769
Predictions for the flow of a cohesionless particulate material down an inclined chute are presented and discussed. The predictions are obtained from numerical solutions of a proposed set of constitutively-based governing equations and boundary conditions. The theoretical investigation attempts to model the particulate flow that will be observed in a recently constructed experimental flow apparatus. 6 refs., 4 figs., 2 tabs.
