Two continuous models for the dynamics of sandpile surfaces.
We consider a modified Bouchaud-Cates-Ravi Prakash-Edwards model for pile surface dynamics, and show that in the long-scale limit this model converges to a quasistationary model of pile growth in the form of an evolutionary variational inequality.
