An open cellular automata (CA) environment applied to the simulation of two-dimensional granular flows is presented herein. The CA belongs to the family of so-called “lattice-grain” (cellular) automata (LGrA) with one particle per cell. The time evolution is governed by a “request-exchange” synchronous mode which simulates a two-stage interaction-advection process. The transition rule follows a simple logic including three physical components: an external field, a set of kinematical exclusion rules and an inertial effect. After a short presentation of the CA logic, this paper describes the open user interface structured onto and emphasizes the versatility of the model.
