Introduction to Granular Flow

Klappentext This book describes theories for granular flow based on continuum models and alternative discrete models. Zusammenfassung Granular materials like sand and coal are common in natural and industrial settings. This book describes theories for granular flow based mainly on continuum models although alternative discrete models are discussed. There are problems at the end of the chapters to encourage exploration! and extensive references are provided. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface. 1. Introduction; 2. Theory for slow plane flow; 3.
