Content

This lecture will discuss the basic rheology of dry granular media and discuss methods from the particle-scale to the continuum that can be used to simulate granular flow behaviors in applications, with a special focus on how to use continuum modeling of granular media to predict the behaviors of extraplanetary rovers.

Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)

The main learning outcome will be an understanding of the fundamentals of granular flow modeling and exposure to some of the state-of-the-art methods being used to implement models of granular flow.
