The stochastic flow rule: a multi-scale model for granular plasticity
2007
Modelling and Simulation in Materials Science and Engineering
In spite of many attempts to model dense granular flow, there is still no general theory capable of describing different types of flows, such as gravity-driven drainage in silos and wall-driven shear flows in Couette cells. Here, we summarize our recent proposal of the Stochastic Flow Rule (SFR), which is able to describe these cases in good agreement with experiments, and we focus on testing the theory in more detail against brute-force simulations with the discrete-element method (DEM).
