It is, however, common experience that snow also while resting, for example, on the roof of a house or on a metal spade, exhibits a considerable angle of repose.

It is widely known that both the heap shape and the repose angle strongly rely on grain properties. Specifically, a non-cohesive powder forms a regular conical heap, while a cohesive powder forms an ...

also called “dynamic angle of repose” in the literature, is calculated from the average interface position. A low value of the flowing angle corresponds to excellent flowability. A broad set of ...
