Abstract

We study the flow under gravity of a granular model system submitted to shear in a rotating cylinder. The system is confined in a vertical 2D geometry which allows visualisation of the bulk and direct measurements of the velocity and density fields. We establish the existence of scaling properties displayed by velocity and density profiles for a large range ofdifferent flow rates.
