The self-diffusivity tensor in homogeneously sheared dense granular flows is anisotropic. We show how its components depend on solid fraction, restitution coefficient, shear rate, and granular temperature.

This paper is concerned with the physical mechanisms controlling shear-induced diffusion in dense granular flows. The starting point is that of the granular random walk occurring in diluted granular flows, which underpins Bagnold’s scaling relating the coefficient of self-diffusion to the grain size and shear rate. By means of DEM simulations of plane shear flows, we measure some deviations from this scaling in dense granular flows with and without contact adhesion. We propose to relate these deviations to the development of correlated motion of grains in these flows, which impacts the magnitude of grain velocity fluctuations and their time persistence.

We investigate the effect of intergranular cohesive forces on the properties of self-diffusion in dense granular flows. The study is based on a series of simulated plane shear flows at different inertial and cohesion numbers, in which transverse diffusivities are measured. Results evidence an increase in diffusivity by up to two orders of magnitude when introducing cohesion. This strong effect is analysed using the Green–Kubo framework, expressing the diffusivity in terms of instantaneous grain velocity fluctuations and their time correlation. This analysis shows that cohesion, by forming enduring clusters in the flow, enhances the velocity fluctuations and their time persistence, which both contribute to enhancing grain mixing and self-diffusion.
