Abstract:
Granular flow with strong hydrodynamic interactions has been studied experimentally. Experiments have been carried out to study the movement of a single bubble in an inclined tube filled with glass beads and air. A maximum bubble velocity was found at an inclined angle straight theta(m). The density variations in the sand were measured by capacitance measurements, and a decompactification zone was observed just above the bubble when the inclination angle straight theta was larger than straight theta(m). The length of the decompactification front increased with increasing inclination angle and disappeared for angles smaller than straight theta(m). Both pressure and visualization experiments were carried out and compared with the density measurements.
