Frictional Flow Regime (DE-PS26-06NT42751-2A2) Frictional Flow Regime: Proposals are sought for the development of continuum models of gas-solids flows applicable to flow regimes in which the particles are in enduring contact. Although constitutive models originating from soil mechanics are available for describing dense flows, those models cannot handle the transitions from stagnant to shearing regimes and from dense flow to dilute flow (described using granular kinetic theory) regimes. Research work may be proposed in areas such as the development of theory and advanced computational models, the gathering of experimental data from physical systems or molecular dynamics simulations, and the validation of the models.
