Particle segregation in dense granular flows

JMNT Gray - Annual review of fluid mechanics, 2018 - annualreviews.org
Granular materials composed of particles with differing grain sizes, densities, shapes, or
surface properties may experience unexpected segregation during flow. This review focuses …

Grain‐size segregation and levee formation in geophysical mass flows

CG Johnson, BP Kokelaar, RM Iverson… - Journal of …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Data from large‐scale debris‐flow experiments are combined with modeling of particle‐size
segregation to explain the formation of lateral levees enriched in coarse grains. The …

Modeling of particle size segregation: calibration using the discrete particle method

A Thornton, T Weinhart, S Luding… - International journal of …, 2012 - World Scientific
Over the last 25 years a lot of work has been undertaken on constructing continuum models
for segregation of particles of different sizes. We focus on one model that is designed to …

Multi-component particle-size segregation in shallow granular avalanches

J Gray, C Ancey - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2011 - cambridge.org
A general continuum theory for particle-size segregation and diffusive remixing in
polydisperse granular avalanches is formulated using mixture theory. Comparisons are …

Experimental investigation into segregating granular flows down chutes

S Wiederseiner, N Andreini, G Épely-Chauvin… - Physics of …, 2011 - pubs.aip.org
We experimentally investigated how a binary granular mixture made up of spherical glass
beads (size ratio of 2) behaved when flowing down a chute. Initially, the mixture was …

A mechanical model for phase separation in debris flow

SP Pudasaini, JT Fischer - International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 2020 - Elsevier
Understanding the physics of phase separation between solid and fluid phases as a mixture
mass moves down-slope is a long-standing challenge. Here, we propose an extension of a …

Segregation, recirculation and deposition of coarse particles near two-dimensional avalanche fronts

JMNT Gray, C Ancey - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2009 - cambridge.org
Stratification patterns are formed when a bidisperse mixture of large rough grains and
smaller more mobile particles is poured between parallel plates to form a heap. At low flow …

Large particle segregation, transport and accumulation in granular free-surface flows

J Gray, BP Kokelaar - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2010 - cambridge.org
Particle size segregation can have a significant feedback on the motion of many hazardous
geophysical mass flows such as debris flows, dense pyroclastic flows and snow avalanches …

Granular segregation in circular tumblers: theoretical model and scaling laws

CP Schlick, Y Fan, PB Umbanhowar… - Journal of Fluid …, 2015 - cambridge.org
We model bidisperse size segregation of granular material in quasi-two-dimensional circular
tumbler flow using the advection–diffusion transport equation with an additional term to …

Segregation-induced fingering instabilities in granular free-surface flows

MJ Woodhouse, AR Thornton, CG Johnson… - Journal of fluid …, 2012 - cambridge.org
Particle-size segregation can have a significant feedback on the bulk motion of granular
avalanches when the larger grains experience greater resistance to motion than the fine …
