Dense Granular Media as Athermal Glasses
I briefly describe how mean-field glass models can be extended to the case where the bath and friction are non-thermal. Solving their dynamics one discovers a temperature with a thermodynamic meaning associated with the slow rearrangements, even though there is no thermodynamic temperature at level of fast dynamics. This temperature can be shown to match the one defined on the basis of a flat m...
متن کاملStatistical mechanics of fluidized granular media: short-range velocity correlations.
A statistical mechanical study of fluidized granular media is presented. Using a special energy injection mechanism, homogeneous fluidized stationary states are obtained. Molecular dynamics simulations and theoretical analysis of the inelastic hard-disk model show that there is a large asymmetry in the two-particle distribution function between pairs that approach and separate. Large velocity c...
متن کاملGranular convection in microgravity.
We investigate the role of gravity on convection in a dense granular shear flow. Using a microgravity-modified Taylor-Couette shear cell under the conditions of parabolic flight microgravity, we demonstrate experimentally that secondary, convective-like flows in a sheared granular material are close to zero in microgravity and enhanced under high-gravity conditions, though the primary flow fiel...
متن کاملUnified rheology of vibro-fluidized dry granular media: From slow dense flows to fast gas-like regimes
Granular media take on great importance in industry and geophysics, posing a severe challenge to materials science. Their response properties elude known soft rheological models, even when the yield-stress discontinuity is blurred by vibro-fluidization. Here we propose a broad rheological scenario where average stress sums up a frictional contribution, generalizing conventional μ(I)-rheology, a...
متن کاملCodalike multiple scattering of elastic waves in dense granular media.
We study the multiple scattering of short-wavelength ultrasound through the force networks in dry and wet glass bead packings under stress. Over long distance scales, the diffusion approximation is shown to describe adequately the transport of elastic waves dominated by shear waves. The recovered transport mean path reveals a short-range correlation of the force chains. Also we observe the dras...
