In this work we propose to identify the relative role of the inclination of gravitational acceleration and friction on the discharge flow rate of a granular media from a rectangular silo by varying the silo geometry thanks to an inclined bottom which ends up at a lateral outlet. The study is motivated by a nuclear safety problem: a fuel rod (modeled by an elongated silo) accidentally releases fuel fragments (modeled by grains). We performed experiments where we independently measured the mass flow rate and the velocity profiles, together with discrete particle simulations and continuum simulations with a frictional rheology described by a μ(I) constitutive law and taking into account the wall friction. We study monolayer flows and three-dimensional flows, and we propose an analytical model that predicts the discharge flow rate of particles from a rectangular silo with an inclined bottom according to its outlet aspect ratio and the bottom inclination angle.
