Boundary conditions for collisional granular flows of frictional and rotational particles at flat walls

Collisions between frictional particles and flat walls are determined using Coulomb friction and both tangential and normal restitution, and pseudothermal states of particles are described by both the translational and rotational granular temperatures. Then, new models for the stresses and the fluxes of fluctuation energy for the collisional granular flows at the walls are derived. These new models are tested and compared with the literature data and models. The ratio of rotational to translational granular temperatures is shown to be crucial on accurately predicting the shear stress and energy flux and is dependent on the normalized slip velocity as well as the collisional parameters. Using a theoretical but constant value for this ratio, predictions by the new models could still agree better with the literature data than those by the previous models. Finally, boundary conditions are developed to be used within the framework of kinetic theory of granular flow. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J 60: 4065–4075, 2014
