Abstract: Continuum modelling of granular flow has been plagued with the issue of ill-posed equations for a long time. Equations for incompressible, two-dimensional flow based on the Coulomb friction law are ill-posed regardless of the deformation, whereas the rate-dependent mu(I)-rheology is ill-posed when the non-dimensional strain-rate I is too high or too low. Here, incorporating ideas from Critical-State Soil Mechanics, we derive conditions for well-posedness of PDEs that combine compressibility with I-dependent rheology. When the I-dependence comes from a specific friction coefficient mu(I), our results show that, with compressibility, the equations are well-posed for all deformation rates provided that mu(I) satisfies certain minimal, physically natural, inequalities.
