Abstract

The granular flow down an inclined plate or chute is a potential choice as a high-power spallation target. Here we studied about the stability of the inclined granular flows down rough bottoms through a series of simulations on GPUs . The periodic boundary is used here. Following the previous work, there are some conclusions in this work: (1) the phases of flows with various inclination angles are classified. (2) According to the oscillation modes, the oscillation flow region can be further divided into three sub-regions. (3) The oscillation flow region is a transition region between ordered and disordered flow region, where more details about the self-organization and dilatant are shown.
