Abstract: A new class of integro-partial differential equation models is derived for the prediction of granular flow dynamics. These models are obtained using a novel limiting averaging method (inspired by techniques employed in the derivation of infinite-dimensional dynamical systems models) on the Newtonian equations of motion of a many-particle system incorporating widely used inelastic particle-particle force formulas. By using Taylor series expansions, these models can be approximated by a system of partial differential equations of the Navier-Stokes type. The exact or approximate governing equations obtained are far from simple, but they are less complicated than most of the continuum models now being used to predict particle flow behavior. Solutions of the new models for granular flows down inclined planes and in vibrating beds are compared with known experimental and analytical results and good agreement is obtained.

Review text

The paper deals with the development of a model for granular flow dynamics and its verification within some classical examples. First, the particle-particle models based on Hertz-Mindlin theory are described. Using such particle-particle force formulas, the authors develop Newtonian differential equations of motion for particle flow dynamics. Application of a limiting procedure produces a system of integro-partial differential equations which models the velocity field of particle flow. The model depends on the form and parameters of formulas for particle-particle force. The particular choice of parameters and of Taylor expansions which are used to approximate the dynamical variables leads to a simple system of PDEs for particle velocities in granular flow. The authors claim without much of the proof that their model is more effective than any earlier continuum or kinetic approach in this field of research.
