Title: Stick-slip dynamics of a granular layer under shear.

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. E

Stick-slip regime of shear granular flows is studied theoretically and numerically. Numerical experiments are carried out for a thin Couette cell using soft-particle molecular dynamics code in two dimensions. We apply order parameter theory of partially fluidized granular flows and find a good agreement with simulations and experiments by Nasuno et al.
