2011 Interdisciplinary Summer School: Granular Flows
|
Introduction – Granular Materials
Wolfgang Losert, University of Maryland
|
Outline:
Introduction to dense granular flows and to the basic properties of granular materials. The focus will be on phenomena with potential links to astrophysical observations.
- Basic flow profiles in shear flow, avalanche flow, and tumbler flow
- The importance of boundary conditions: From superstable heaps to inverted shear flow profiles
- The role of materials preparation: Friction, aging and memory in granular flows
