34. We have also studied the role of dynamic friction in 2D simulations. This model has (Formula presented) set to zero always, and only includes the tangential velocity damping term (Formula presented) Using this model, we never observed a steady state flow for our chute flow simulations.

41. Although we do not see slip in this study, we have observed slip in our 2D simulations using a smoother bottom wall constructed from spheres of the same diameter as those in the bulk.

46. We also find that the mean-square velocity fluctuations or granular temperature scale similarly with (Formula presented).
47. Although the overall fit is good, deviations from the simple scaling law occur even at depths where the density has reached its bulk value. Thus, the rheology of the system does not appear to be entirely local, with surface effects penetrating farther into the pile than is suggested by the density profile.
