Abstract  The dense granular flow is a very important state in granular materials movement. In such granular system, the velocity fluctuation of a single particle is the basis of many macroscopic processes such as transporting, mixing and segregating, etc. How to quantitatively characterize such fluctuating features becomes a very key issue in granular materials research. Based on the established discrete element model of annular shear granular flow, this paper mainly focuses on the macroscopic statistical features of particle velocity fluctuation within different sub-regions when the system approaches the shearing steady state. By introducing the self-diffusion coefficient, we investigate the localized and anisotropic features of diffusion processes of particles in a shear granular flow. Finally, the influences of local shear rate, initial packing fraction and friction coefficient between particles on self-diffusion coefficients in a shear granular flow are also discussed.
Key words:  dense granular flow      DEM      velocity fluctuation      self-diffusion coefficient
