Confined granular flows on a heap: from simulations to experiments

Surface granular flows are studied by means of discrete element simulations. The investigation of their kinematic properties suggests the existence of two regimes: one close to the jamming, for which the shear rate increases with the angle of the flow, and another one, far from jamming, for which th...
