Geometric Origin of Macroscopic Alignment in Granular Flows
Christopher Harper, Eric C. P. Breard, George W. Bergantz +1
Predicting the nematic alignment of nonspherical particles in sheared granular flows is essential for understanding the rheology, packing, and constitutive response of dense partic…

The role of compressional dynamics in setting the scale-dependent rheology of granular flows: Application to the emergence of thin layer stability
Christopher Harper, Josef Dufek, Eric C. P. Breard
One great challenge of modeling granular systems lies in capturing the rheologic dependencies on scale. For example, there are marked differences between quasi-static, intermediate…
