Stability of wall bounded, shear flows of dense granular materials: the role of the Couette gap, the wall velocity and the initial concentration

Abstract: In this paper, the stability of a plane, unidirectional Couette flow of a dense granular material is investigated via the means of a normal mode stability analysis. Our studies are based on a continuum mechanical model for the flows of interest coupled with the constitutive expressions for the normal and the shear stresses of the granular material induced by the µ(I)-rheology. According to our analysis, both the Couette gap and the wall velocity play a destabilizing role in the flows of interest as opposed to … Show more

“…This is referred to as a temporal stability analysis, which contrasts with a spatial stability analysis in which a pulsation σ = −iω for ω ∈ R is specified and k ∈ C is the eigenvalue of interest (see Schmid & Henningson 2001, Chapter 7). A spatial stability analysis is carried out in Forterre (2006); Gray & Edwards (2014) in order to compare their results directly with the spatial stability data of Forterre & Pouliquen (2003), however we avoid this approach given that the eigenvalue k appears quadratically in the stability problem, which is typically more difficult to handle numerically (Malik 1990;Varsakelis & Papalexandris 2016). In any case, we discuss in §3.4 how the temporal analysis can be used to compare against the spatial stability data.…”
