Granular materials are comprised of solid, athermal grains. Whilst immune to thermal motion, these grains move and diffuse when they undergo shear deformation. Here we introduce this process of shear-induced diffusion with a focus on dense flows. The goal is to present the established scaling laws for continuum diffusivity and to relate them to the micro-mechanisms of a granular random walk. We then suggest how this knowledge may help advance our understanding of granular rheology and diffusion in other soft-materials.
