Abstract
The simulation of the flow of granular materials often leads to behavior that is difficult to quantify and that is therefore best described visually. In this paper we show several examples in which adding visualization to the calculations makes it possible to examine features which are not readily characterized by other means. The problems discussed are granular flow from a silo, the size-grading that occurs in inclined-chute flow, and the surface waves that appear in a thin, vertically vibrated layer.
