Onset of Granular Flows on an Inclined Rough Surface: Dilatancy Effects

Description : The onset of the flow of a two-dimensional granular material resting on an inclined rough surface is studied in both experiments and numerical simulations. The critical angle θc at which the particles start to flow is found to increase when the initial thickness of the layer decreases, showing that ...
