Effects of repose angle and basal friction angle in granular flow simulations
The effects of the repose angle and the basal friction angle in granular flow simulations are discussed in this study. These important parameters characterize the flow behaviors of granular materials. A database of the repose angle, which includes data on the relation between the repose angle and distinct element method (DEM) input parameters, was ...
