AbstractGranular flow problems characterized by large deformations are widespread in various applications, including coastal and geotechnical engineering. The paper deals with the application of a rigid‐perfectly plastic two‐phase model extended by the Drucker–Prager yield criterion to simulate granular media with a finite volume flow solver (FV). The model refers to the combination of a Bingham fluid and an Eulerian strain measure to assess the failure region of granular dam slides. A monolithic volume‐of‐fluid (VoF) method is used to distinguish between the air and granular phases, both governed by the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. The numerical framework enables modeling of large displacements and arbitrary shapes for large‐scale applications. The displayed validation and verification focuses on the rigid‐perfectly plastic material model for noncohesive and cohesive materials with varying angles of repose. Results indicate a good agreement of the predicted soil surface and strain results with experimental and numerical data.
