Surface Waves and Pattern Formation in Vibrated Granular Beds
نویسنده
چکیده
We present numerical simulations of surface waves in vibrated granular systems. For the simulations we use an event driven (ED) procedure with a non-constant restitution coeecient. The important advantage of a non-constant restitution coeecient is that it allows to circumvent the \inelastic collapse", i.e. the divergence of collision frequency, usually observed in ED simulations of dense and dissipative granular systems.

Convection and fluidization in oscillatory granular flows: The role of acoustic streaming.
Convection and fluidization phenomena in vibrated granular beds have attracted a strong interest from the physics community since the last decade of the past century. As early reported by Faraday, the convective flow of large inertia particles in vibrated beds exhibits enigmatic features such as frictional weakening and the unexpected influence of the interstitial gas. At sufficiently intense v...
متن کاملPhase boundaries in vertically vibrated granular materials
A boundary structure is observed in beds of vertically vibrated granular materials separating regions of opposite phase. This structure is investigated and it is identified as giving rise to both a global kink and hexagonal patterns. A global phase diagram of surface patterns on a vibrated bed is presented. c © 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. In recent years, there has been a dramatic s...
متن کاملPattern formation in a vibrated granular layer: the pattern selection issue
We present a numerical study of a surface instability occurring in a bidimensional vibrated granular layer. The driving mechanism for the formation of stationary waves is closely followed. Two regimes of wavelength selection are identified: a dispersive regime where the wavelength decreases with increasing frequency and a saturation regime where the value of the wavelength is a constant dependi...
متن کاملPhysics of Granular Matter: Pattern Formation and Applications
A summary of results is presented from experiments in granular systems, which are excited by vertical and/or horizontal vibrations. The transitions between different dynamic states depend on internal properties of the granular system like the density of particles and on external parameters of the driving shakers. Characteristic for granular systems are such counterintuitive phenomena as the cry...
متن کاملGranular Hydrodynamics and Pattern Formation in Vertically Oscillated Granular Disks Layers
A numerical hydrodynamic model of a vibrated granular bed in 2D is elaborated based on a highly accurate Shock Capturing scheme applied to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations for granular flow. The hydrodynamic simulation of granular flows is numerically difficult, particularly in systems where dilute and dense regions occur at the same time and interact with each other. As an example of s...
