Abstract
We study numerically the stability of granular flow on a rough slope in collisional flow regime in the two-dimension. We examine the density dependence of the flowing behavior in low density region, and demonstrate that the particle collisions stabilize the flow above a certain density in the parameter region where a single particle shows an accelerated behavior. Within this parameter regime, however, the uniform flow is only metastable and is shown to be unstable against clustering when the particle density is not high enough.
