Summary

In this thesis, we focus on the influence of particle properties including the shape, surface friction and the particle elasticity on granular flow, and look for correlations between these factors and the flow behavior. This allows us to deepen our understanding and knowledge of granular materials in the flowing regime, which as a result can be helpful for future potential applications.
