Handbook of Granular Materials
Handbook of Granular Materials

Granular systems arise in a variety of
geological and industrial settings, from landslides, avalanches, and
erosion to agricultural grains and pharmaceutical powders. Understanding
the underlying physics that governs their behavior is the key to
developing effective handling and transport mechanisms as well as
appropriate environmental policies.
Handbook of Granular Materials presents foundational techniques used to investigate granular systems, examples of their use in contemporary research, and extensions to granular-like systems that greatly expand the realm of study. The book provides guidance on how to conduct research in granular materials and explores promising directions for new research.
The first several chapters cover various methods used by contemporary researchers to investigate granular materials. Subsequent chapters delve into broader themes of investigation, focusing on results rather than methodology. The final chapters describe three extended systems of granular media: suspensions, emulsions and foams, and colloids.
