Granular Flow Models. Analysis and Numerical Simulations

      Аннотация: The study of granular materials is at an exciting point, where mathematical analysis can contribute to the understanding of how grains flow. Unlike fluids, there is no single well-analyzed model for understanding granular flow. This book focuses on antiplane shear, a simplified model of granular flow that retains its unstable properties: like grain in a silo, under some conditions the flow is smooth, and in others the material acts like two solid pieces sliding against each other. Periodic solutions can also emerge, and these are investigated here.
