Description

Granular materials are an integral part of many processes vital to both nature and modern life. Improving our understanding of the behaviour of flowing granular materials is important for a wide variety of applications. Many models have attempted to capture the dynamics of granular flow, including discrete element models which model individual particles, models which analyse the stress in granular material, and models using the Navier-Stokes equation. Each of these models have various advanta...
