Mesoscopic Physics of Granular Flows
Abstract
We present a description of granular dynamics based on the idea of differentiation between fluid and solid components. First, we construct a model of completely fluidized phase. Then we discuss a shear surface motion on the boundary of the bulk solid phase, induced by a moving wall. Our results include the thickness dependence of the velocity of a developed avalanche, density and velocity profiles in granular Couette flow experiment.
