Granular Avalanches in Fluids

Abstract: Three regimes of granular avalanches in fluids are put in light depending on the Stokes number St which prescribes the relative importance of grain inertia and fluid viscous effects, and on the grain/fluid density ratio r. In gas (r ≫ 1 and St > 1, e.g., the dry case), the amplitude and time duration of avalanches do not depend on any fluid effect. In liquids (r ∼ 1), for decreasing St, the amplitude decreases and the time duration increases, exploring an inertial regime and a viscous regime. These regimes are… Show more

“…[10,11,13,[28][29][30]. To compare and discuss more in details those velocity profiles, we will first refer to the work carried out by Courrech du Pont et al [14] who have defined three flow regimes for a granular avalanche in a fluid based on the fall under gravity of one grain in fluid: a free fall regime for which there is no fluid influence (i.e. the classical dry regime) and two regimes where the avalanche dynamics is controlled by the fluid drag force and for which the grain motion reaches respectively a viscous and an inertial limit regime.…”
