颗粒流

顺沙丘斜面上下滑而形成的颗粒流。 地点: Mojave desert, 加州

颗粒流(英语:grain flow)是一种重力流,其中流体(空气或水),主要是提供润滑的作用[1],颗粒在流体中能保持悬浮状态,是由于颗粒与颗粒之间的碰撞,从而产生分散压力[2],而使颗粒不会沉淀[3]。最常见颗粒流是在风成环境中,颗粒因为顺沙丘斜面上下滑而形成[4]。相比之下,颗粒流在水下环境中很少。通常颗粒在水中保持悬浮状态是依赖颗粒的牵引、跳跃、以及流体的湍流作用。在泥流中,颗粒对粘土基质的相对漂浮力,也让颗粒保持悬浮状态[5]。在高密度浊流中,底部沙子浓度较高,颗粒间的碰撞能使沙颗粒保持悬浮状态。较小的颗粒,因为没有碰撞反而先沉淀在沙颗粒之下, 造成反向粒级层理[6]
