Abstract:We consider a monodisperse dry granular material flowing down a rough inclined channel with downslope contracting sidewalls: theoretically and numerically. Utilising the depth-averaged shallow granular theory together with an empirical, but discrete particle simulations validated constitutive friction law, an extended novel one-dimensional (depth-and width-averaged) granular hydraulic theory is presented. For steady flows, besides describing the subcritical flow state, the one-dimensional model also predicts t… Show more
