Avalanches at rough surfaces.

چکیده
We describe the surface properties of a simple lattice model of a sandpile that includes evolving structural disorder. We present a dynamical scaling hypothesis for generic sandpile automata and, additionally, explore the kinetic roughening of the sandpile surface, indicating its relationship with the sandpile evolution. Finally, we comment on the surprisingly good agreement found between this model, and a previous continuum model of sandpile dynamics, from the viewpoint of critical phenomena.

Martian Slope Streaks and Gullies: Origins as Dry Granular Flows
Streaks and gullies (Figs 1,2) are common on Martian slopes, and are geologically young; slope streaks have formed during the last few years of Mars Global Surveyor imaging. Both slope streaks [1] and gullies [2] involve flow of granular material, but it is not clear whether liquid water (or another suspending agent) was involved. The possibility that liquid water was involved makes gullies and...
متن کاملStick-slip friction of gecko-mimetic flaps on smooth and rough surfaces.
The discovery and understanding of gecko 'frictional-adhesion' adhering and climbing mechanism has allowed researchers to mimic and create gecko-inspired adhesives. A few experimental and theoretical approaches have been taken to understand the effect of surface roughness on synthetic adhesive performance, and the implications of stick-slip friction during shearing. This work extends previous s...
متن کاملDynamical equilibrium of avalanches on a rough plane
We present experimental results on avalanches which are triggered in a metastable static layer on a rough inclined plane. We observe that despite the continuous increase in mass of a perturbation while it runs down, the flow reaches a dynamical equilibrium where the fronts evolve at constant speed and the mass is spread. The head front is found to be a shock wave with a crest, and its transient...

Avalanche behavior of gravitationally-forced granular layers on a rough inclined plane are investigated experimentally for different materials and for a variety of grain shapes ranging from spherical beads to highly anisotropic particles with dendritic shape. We measure the front velocity, area and the height of many avalanches and correlate the motion with the area and height. We also measure ...
