Angle of repose revisited: When is a heap a cone?

The angle of repose is a frequently reported value in bulk solids characterisation and its popularity is based on the simple measurement setup. It can be useful to estimate the flowability of a bulk material or to estimate the inner friction coeffcient for cohesionless solids. The latter relies on C...
