Short description
A new reference book providing quick access to this rapidly developing field, containing high-level review articles covering the current level of knowledge from the viewpoints of applied, experimental, and theoretical physics. A must-have for researchers and developers aware of both the scientific challenge and the technological need to develop an understanding of the mechanisms underlying the flow of grains.
