Microscopic foundation of the μ(I) rheology for dense granular flows on inclined planes

Macroscopic and microscopic properties of dense granular layers flowing down inclined planes are obtained from Discrete-Element-Method simulations for both frictionless and frictional grains. Three fundamental observations for dense granular flows are recovered, namely the occurrence of a critical s...
