Stability analysis for the flow of granular materials down an inclined plane using kinetic model. Quarterly report, January 1, 1993--March 31, 1993

摘要

In the previous report the linearized stability equations for the flow of granular materials down an inclined plane, modeled by the kinetic constitutive theory (cf Richman & Marciniec (1990)) were derived. Here, we use the approximate solution of Richman & Marciniec (1990) as the base solution for the linearized stability analysis. The governing equations obtained are solved numerically to obtain the marginal stability curves which are presented in this report.
