Geometric Origin of Macroscopic Alignment in Granular Flows
Christopher Harper, Eric C. P. Breard, George W. Bergantz +1
Predicting the alignment of non-spherical particles in dense granular flows under shear remains a central challenge in soft matter physics. We demonstrate that the first-order beha…

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…
