Heaping and secondary flows in sheared granular materials

Split-bottom cylindrical containers are well established devices in experiments where granular materials are continuously sheared. They are characterized by localized broad shear bands. In such shear experiments, shape-anisotropic grains develop a secondary flow profile in the radial direction. A ma...
