We first phrase a boundary-value problem for a dense, steady, fully-developed, gravitational flow of identical inelastic spheres over in inclined bumpy base in the absence of sidewalls. We then obtain approximate analytical solutions for the profiles of the solid volume fraction, the strength of the velocity fluctuations, and the mean velocity of the flow. We compare these with those obtained in numerical solutions of the exact equations.
