Experimental and theoretical modélisation of bidimensional flow
Abstract
The aim of this work is the study, by a purely kinematical approach, of the behaviour of granular medium modelled with 6 centimeter long rolls in PVC (vinyl polychlorur) having three different diameters. The problems set by the flowing of granular media are very complicated; the preceding model simplifies their study and gives very good results. Many experiments have been carried out with a two dimensional silo.The different comparisons between experimental results and theoretical velocity profiles, show that the theory of Nedderman and Tuzun can describe the flow of granular media with good approximation.
