Density Patterns in Granular Media
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent experiments by Baxter et al. showed the existence of density waves in granular material flowing out of a hopper. We show, using Molecular Dynamics Simulations, that this effect is a consequence of static friction and find that these density fluctuations follow a 1/f spectrum. The effect is enhanced when the opening angle of the hopper decreases.

Patterns in flowing sand: understanding the physics of granular flow.
Dense granular flows are often unstable and form inhomogeneous structures. Although significant advances have been recently made in understanding simple flows, instabilities of such flows are often not understood. We present experimental and numerical results that show the formation of longitudinal stripes that arise from instability of the uniform flowing state of granular media on a rough inc...
متن کاملMultilaminate Elastoplastic Model for Granular Media
A multilaminate based model capable of predicting the behavior of granular material on the basis of sliding mechanisms and elastic behavior of particles is presented. The capability of the model to predict the behavior of sand under arbitrary stress paths is examined. The influences of rotation of the direction of principal stress axes and induced anisotropy are included in a rational way witho...
متن کاملPattern Formation in Vertically Vibrated Granular Media
This work concerns pattern formation in vertically driven granular media. We generalize the work of Shankar C. Vankataramani and Edward Ott to test notions about patterns found in vertically driven granular media. A generalization of this model is present along with some of the preliminary results.
متن کاملStructural evolution of cuboidal granular media
Monoand bi-disperse rectangular cuboidal granules are assembled from colloid-hydrogel suspensions via stop-flow lithography and fully submerged in hexadecane. Their packing density and structural evolution are studied as a function of agitation time using micro-computed X-ray tomography. When subjected to periodic agitation, the granule packing density increases logarithmically in time; concomi...
متن کاملDensity fluctuations in a model for vibrated granular media.
This paper presents the study of density fluctuations in a model for vibrated granular media. Their microscopic origin is shown to be linked to the microscopic disorder in grains packing. Varying vibrations amplitude and duration, several regimes are found for density relaxation. Its power spectrum is well described by power laws.
