Microscopic Description of the Granular Fluidity Field in Nonlocal Flow Modeling

A recent granular rheology based on an implicit "granular fluidity" field has been shown to quantitatively predict many nonlocal phenomena. However, the physical nature of the field has not been identified. Here, the granular fluidity is found to be a kinematic variable given by the veloci...
