Secondary flows in slow granular flows

Recent findings by Krishnaraj and Nott [1] show that a granular material sheared in a cylindrical Couette cell at low shear rates forms a single secondary vortex. The vortex spans the entire width of the Couette cell and has a sense opposite to the centrifugally driven Taylor-Couette vortex in a New...
