Abstract

By extending the constitutive theories for homogeneous granular flows of highly inelastic spheres by Richman (J. Rheol 33 (1989) 1293), Chou (J. CSME 16-6 (1995) 577), and Chou and Richman (Physica A 259 (1998) 430), the collisional source of the second moment of fluctuation velocity and pressure tensor were developed in this study for inhomogeneous rapid granular flows of identical smooth highly inelastic spheres. The important mean fields in this flow are the solid fraction, mean velocity, and full second moment of fluctuation velocity. The collisional source of second moment and the collisional flux of momentum are based upon an anisotropic Maxwellian velocity distribution function. The constitutive theory was combined with the experimental results measured by Hsiau and Jang (Exp. Thermal Fluid Sci. 17 (1998) 202) so as to determine the profiles of pressure tensor and collision source of second moment in the inhomogeneous rapid granular shear flows of inelastic spheres. The normal pressure discrepancies were also observed.
