| Abstract: | Recently, Massoudi (2011a) derived a generalized form of a constitutive relation related to Reiner's fluid model for wet sand, where not only the effects of volume fraction are incorporated in the rheological properties of the fluid, but also the shear viscosity depends on the shear rate. In this paper, we use this model to study the fully developed flow of granular-like materials down an inclined plane. The governing equations are made dimensionless and numerical solutions are presented for the various dimensionless parameters. |
