Simulating dense granular flow using the $μ$($I$)-rheology within a space-time framework (2102.04701v1)

Published 9 Feb 2021 in cs.CE, cs.NA, and math.NA

Abstract: A space-time framework is applied to simulate dense granular flow. Two different numerical experiments are performed: a column collapse and a dam break on an inclined plane. The experiments are modeled as two-phase flows. The dense granular material is represented by a constitutive model, the $\mu$($I$)-rheology, that is based on the Coulomb's friction law, such that the normal stress applied by the pressure is related to the tangential stress. The model represents a complex shear thinning viscoplastic material behavior. The interface between the dense granular material and the surrounding light fluid is captured with a level set function. Due to discontinuities close to the the interface, the mesh requires a sufficient resolution. The space-time approach allows unstructured meshes in time and, therefore a well refined mesh in the temporal direction around the interface. In this study, results and performance of a flat and a simplex space time discretization are verified and analyzed.
