Abstract

Granular materials exhibit abundant dissipations due to fluctuations in both granular motions and configurations (i.e., granular skeleton) evolutions. Twin granular temperatures Tk and Te are introduced accounting for two types of fluctuations, and the so-called twin granular temperatures theory is established as an extension of granular solid hydrodynamics. By using simulations, the nonaffine deformations in a 2D assembly are simulated by using discrete element methods. By analogizing with microdamages in deformed solids, double scalar damage variables, DP and Dq, are proposed to describe the deformed granular solid under triaxial compressions. Granular flows are found intrinsically turbulent due to the presence of Tk and the Naiver–Stokes equation is obtained for granular flows.
