Ebook: An Introduction to Granular Flow

"This book describes the theories for granular flow based mainly on continuum models, although alternative discrete models are also discussed briefly. The level is appropriate for advanced undergraduates or beginning graduate students. The goal is to inform the reader about observed phenomena and some available models and their shortcomings and to visit some issues that remain unresolved. There is a selection of problems at the end of the chapters to encourage exploration, and extensive references are given."--BOOK JACKET.  Read more...
