Abstract
This chapter presents numerical investigations of dry granular flows generated by the collapse of prismatic columns via 3D discrete element method (DEM) simulations in plane strain conditions. First, by means of dimensional analysis, the governing parameters of the problem are identified, and variables are clustered into independent and dependent dimensionless groups.
