Diffusion compaction coupling controls pore pressure dynamics in granular fluid flows
Eric C. P. Breard, Claudia Elijas Parra, Mattia de' Michieli Vitturi
Excess pore pressure in granular--fluid mixtures can transiently suppress frictional contacts and dramatically enhance flow mobility, yet its evolution is commonly modeled using co…

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…

On the settling and clustering behavior of polydisperse gas-solid flows with application to pyroclastic density currents
E. Foster, E. C. P. Breard, S. Beetham
Sedimenting flows occur in a range of society-critical systems, such as circulating fluidized bed reactors and pyroclastic density currents (PDCs), the most hazardous volcanic proc…
