Abstract: Numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations are presented for developing laminar flow in the entrance region of a cascade of parallel horizontal plates with a uniform velocity profile at ...

Abstract: Detailed observations of funnel flows of dry granular materials in wedge-shaped hoppers of different geometries are presented. The variations of the flow regime with changes in the height of ...

Abstract: An approximate solution to the flow of a cohesionless granular material in a conical hopper is presented. The material is modeled as a perfectly plastic continuum which satisfies the Mohr-Coulomb ...
