Continuum-Type Stability Balloon in Oscillated Granular Layers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The stability of convection rolls in a fluid heated from below is limited by secondary instabilities, including the skew-varicose and crossroll instabilities. We observe a stability boundary defined by these same instabilities in stripe patterns in a vertically oscillated granular layer. Molecular dynamics simulations show that the mechanism of the skew-varicose instability in granular patterns is similar to that in convection. These results suggest that pattern formation in granular media can be described by continuum models analogous to those used in fluid systems. [S0031-9007(98)06880-X]

Onset of patterns in an oscillated granular layer: continuum and molecular dynamics simulations.
We study the onset of patterns in vertically oscillated layers of frictionless dissipative particles. Using both numerical solutions of continuum equations to Navier-Stokes order and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we find that standing waves form stripe patterns above a critical acceleration of the cell. Changing the frequency of oscillation of the cell changes the wavelength of the resul...
متن کاملSquare to Stripe transition in vertically oscillated Granular Layers
Based on the mass and momentum conservation law, we present a simple continuum model to explain the transition between squares and stripes in vertically oscillated granular layers. The study shows that the transition depends on a competition between the lateral movement and the local saturation. The large lateral transfer leads to square formation via the triad interaction, but the local satura...

متن کاملSquare to stripe transition and superlattice patterns in vertically oscillated granular layers.
We investigated the physical mechanism for the pattern transition from square lattice to stripes, which appears in vertically oscillating granular layers. We present a continuum model to show that the transition depends on the competition between inertial force and local saturation of transport. By introducing multiple free-flight times, this model further enables us to analyze the formation of...

We study shock formation in vertically oscillated granular layers, using both molecular dynamics simulations and numerical solutions of continuum equations to Navier-Stokes order. A flat layer of grains is thrown up from an oscillating plate during each oscillation cycle and collides with the plate later in the cycle. The collisions produce layer compaction near the plate and a high temperature...
