A Nonlocal Conservation Law from a Model of Granular Flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we study the well-posedness for a scalar conservation law in which the flux term is non-local in space. This equation represents a reduced model for slow erosion in granular flow ([1, 6]), and describes roughly the evolution of a profile of stationary matter, under the effect of a thin moving layer of granular matter on the top of it. We show that the present equation admits weak solutions existing globally in time and prove their stability w.r.t the initial data. These properties are related to the assumption on the erosion flux. Different assumptions may lead to significantly different behaviors, see [9].

A Semigroup Approach to an Integro-Differential Equation Modeling Slow Erosion
The paper is concerned with a scalar conservation law with nonlocal flux, providing a model for granular flow with slow erosion and deposition. While the solution u = u(t, x) can have jumps, the inverse function x = x(t, u) is always Lipschitz continuous; its derivative has bounded variation and satisfies a balance law with measure-valued sources. Using a backward Euler approximation scheme com...
متن کاملNonlocal constitutive relation for steady granular flow.
Extending recent modeling efforts for emulsions, we propose a nonlocal fluidity relation for flowing granular materials, capturing several known finite-size effects observed in steady flow. We express the local Bagnold-type granular flow law in terms of a fluidity ratio and then extend it with a particular Laplacian term that is scaled by the grain size. The resulting model is calibrated agains...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Granular Column Collapses with Pressure-Dependent Viscoplastic Model using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic Method
This paper presents a numerical analysis of granular column collapse phenomenon using a two-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics model and a local constitutive law proposed by Jop et al. This constitutive law, which is based on the viscoplastic behaviour of dense granular material flows, is characterized by an apparent viscosity depending both on the local strain rate and the local press...
متن کاملOn the instability of a nonlocal conservation law
We are interested in a nonlocal conservation law which describes the morphodynamics of sand dunes sheared by a fluid flow, recently proposed by Andrew C. Fowler and studied by [1, 2]. We prove that constant solutions of Fowler’s equation are non-linearly unstable. We also illustrate this fact using a finite difference scheme.
متن کاملA new total variation diminishing implicit nonstandard finite difference scheme for conservation laws
In this paper, a new implicit nonstandard finite difference scheme for conservation laws, which preserving the property of TVD (total variation diminishing) of the solution, is proposed. This scheme is derived by using nonlocal approximation for nonlinear terms of partial differential equation. Schemes preserving the essential physical property of TVD are of great importance in practice. Such s...
