28. In L.E. Silbert, D. Ertas, G.S. Grest, T.C. Halsey, and D. Levine, Phys. Rev. E 65, 051307 (2002), a similar quantity, a fraction of sliding contacts averaged over the whole flow region, was introduced. For a chute flow, it exhibited a first-order transition as a function of the chute angle.

30. s are collinear, which as we see in the following sections, is a reasonable assumption for our 2D simulations, however, does not have to hold in all cases. In those circumstances, the order parameter ρ would become a tensor itself.

36. In fact, in highly dilute regimes at large shear rates, the normal components of the stress tensor also show anisotropy [e.g., O.R. Walton and R.L. Braun, J. Rheol. 30, 949 (1986); I. Goldhirsch and N. Sela, Phys. Rev. E 54, 4458 (1996)]; however, for the slow flows we are concerned with here, this effect can be neglected.
