Long lasting instabilities in granular mixtures
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have performed experiments of axial segregation in the Oyama's drum. We have tested binary granular mixtures during very long times. The segregation patterns have been captured by a CCD camera and spatio-temporal graphs are created. We report the occurence of instabilities which can last several hours! We stress that those instabilities originate from the competition between axial and radial segregations. We put into evidence the occurence of giant fluctuations in the fraction of grain species along the surface during the unstable periods.

Long time simulations of granular hydrodynamics : instabilities and attractors
Using a hydrodyamic model of granular flows, we present very long time simulations of a granular fluid in two dimensions without gravity and with periodic boundary conditions in a square domain. Depending upon the values of the viscosity, thermal conductivity and dissipation, we find for intermediate times a metastable clustering state. For longer times the system is attracted to either a shear...
متن کاملThe effect of prenatal restraint stress on the number and size of neurons in the rat hippocampal subdivisions
Animal studies have shown that prenatal stress is able to induce long-lasting neurobiological and behavioral alterations in adult offspring. In spite of the facts that hippocampus is sensitive to early developmental influences and its known functional importance in learning and memory, few data are available on the effect of prenatal stress on the structure of hippocampus. Therefore, this study...
متن کاملSurface instabilities in shock loaded granular media
The initiation and growth of instabilities in granular materials loaded by air shock waves are investigated via shock-tube experiments and numerical calculations. Three types of granular media, dry sand, water-saturated sand and a granular solid comprising PTFE spheres were experimentally investigated by air shock loading slugs of these materials in a transparent shock tube. Under all shock pre...
متن کاملContinuum-Type Stability Balloon in Oscillated Granular Layers
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...
متن کاملKinetic Theory for Binary Granular Mixtures at Low-Density
Many features of granular media can be modelled as a fluid of hard spheres with inelastic collisions. Under rapid flow conditions, the macroscopic behavior of grains can be described through hydrodynamic equations. At lowdensity, a fundamental basis for the derivation of the hydrodynamic equations and explicit expressions for the transport coefficients appearing in them is provided by the Boltz...
