Development of shear bands in annular shear granular flows
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 February 2011
Abstract
Using hard-disk simulations of relatively dense packs of mono-sized system in an annular Couette geometry the formation of dilute regions inside the granular media, namely shear bands, are investigated. The results represent the influence of entire system characteristics such as solid area fraction and shear rate on the development of shear bands as well as the local properties of grains that cause them to participate in the formation of a shear band. Moreover, simulations have been performed for binary-sized system, which revealed that the formation of such diluted shear bands is unlikely.
