Relaxation processes after instantaneous shear rate reversal in a dense granular flow

A numerical model of granular material at different packing fractions and under steady shear is submitted to a sudden shear reversal. We monitor consequences of the strong density and shear rate spatiotemporal heterogeneities, on the constitutive relations. We show that the dynamics can be decompose...
