Erosion dynamics of a wet granular medium.
Liquid may give strong cohesion properties to a granular medium, and confer a solidlike behavior. We study the erosion of a fixed circular aggregate of wet granular matter subjected to a flow of dry grains inside a half-filled rotating drum. During the rotation, the dry grains flow around the fixed obstacle. We show that its diameter decreases linearly with time for low liquid content, as wet g...
متن کاملMixing and condensation in a wet granular medium.
We have studied the effect of small amounts of added liquid on the dynamic behavior of a granular system consisting of a mixture of glass beads of two different sizes. Segregation of the large beads to the top of the sample is found to depend in a nontrivial way on the liquid content. A transition to viscoplastic behavior occurs at a critical liquid content, which depends upon the bead size. We...
متن کاملSwimming C. elegans in a wet granular medium.
C. elegans is a round worm that lives in wet soil and moves by undulating its body in a sinusoidal wave. We perform experiments on wild-type C. elegans swimming in a granular medium composed of 98 m glass particles and aqueous fluid. Figure 1 shows that a worm swims faster in a granular medium V 0.46 mm /s than in a fluid without particles V 0.37 mm /s . C. elegans in a granular medium undulate...
متن کاملBending transition in the penetration of a flexible intruder in a two-dimensional dense granular medium.
We study the quasistatic penetration of a flexible beam into a two-dimensional dense granular medium lying on a horizontal plate. Rather than a buckling-like behavior we observe a transition between a regime of crack-like penetration in which the fiber only shows small fluctuations around a stable straight geometry and a bending regime in which the fiber fully bends and advances through series ...
متن کاملIntruder clustering in three-dimensional granular beds.
We present results of computer simulations for neutrally buoyant intruders in a vertically vibrated three-dimensional granular bed of smaller host particles. Under sinusoidal excitation, pairs of intruders interact over a distance of several intruder diameters; a group of intruders forms a cluster. The strength of the interaction grows as the number of intruders is increased. We show that the t...
