Exploring noisy Jeffery orbits: A combined Fokker-Planck and Langevin analysis in 2D and 3D

Julian Talbot, Charles Antoine, Philippe Claudin +2

The behavior of non-spherical particles in a shear-flow is of significant practical and theoretical interest. These systems have been the object of numerous investigations since th…

A random planting model

Julian Talbot, Pascal Viot, David Colliaux

The adoption of agroecological practices will be crucial to address the challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss. Such practices favor the cultivation of plants in comple…

Role of shape on the forces on an intruder moving through a dense granular medium

Bitang Kwrung Tripura, Sonu Kumar, K. Anki Reddy +1

We use numerical simulation to investigate the effect an intruder's shape has on the drag and lift forces that it experiences while moving through a granular medium composed of pol…

Kinetic analysis of a chiral granular motor

Julian Talbot, Alexis Burdeau, Pascal Viot

We study the properties of a heterogeneous, chiral granular rotor that is capable of performing useful work when immersed in a bath of thermalized particles. The dynamics can be ob…

Kinetics of a frictional granular motor

Julian Talbot, Ricky D. Wildman, Pascal Viot

Within the framework of a Boltzmann-Lorentz equation, we analyze the dynamics of a granular rotor immersed in a bath of thermalized particles in the presence of a frictional torque…

Recurrence dynamics of particulate transport with reversible blockage: from a single channel to a bundle of coupled channels

Chloé Barré, Gregory Page, Julian Talbot +1

We model a particulate flow of constant velocity through confined geometries, ranging from a single channel to a bundle of identical coupled channels, under conditions of rev…

Stochastic models of multi-channel particulate transport with blockage

Chloé Barré, Gregory Page, Julian Talbot +1

Networks of channels conveying particles are often subject to blockages due to the limited carrying capacity of the individual channels. If the channels are coupled, blockage of on…

Anisotropic Energy Distribution in Three-Dimensional Vibrofluidized Granular Systems

Peter E. Krouskop, Julian Talbot

We examine the energy distribution in a three-dimensional model granular system contained in an open cylinder under the influence of gravity. Energy is supplied to the system by a…

Studies of Mass and Size Effects in Three-Dimensional Vibrofluidized Granular Mixtures

Peter E. Krouskop, Julian Talbot

We examine the steady state properties of binary systems of driven inelastic hard spheres. The spheres, which move under the influence of gravity, are contained in a vertical cylin…

Random planting with harvest: A statistical-mechanical analysis

Julian Talbot

We formulate a statistical-mechanical description of a recently introduced random planting model in which plants are represented by growing hard disks. Seedlings of negligible size…

Non-Markovian Models of Blocking in Concurrent and Countercurrent Flows

Andrea Gabrielli, Julian Talbot, Pascal Viot

We investigate models in which blocking can interrupt a particulate flow process at any time. Filtration, and flow in micro/nano-channels and traffic flow are examples of such proc…

Enhanced Saturation Coverages in Adsorption-Desorption Processes

Paul R. Van Tassel, Pascal Viot, Gilles Tarjus +2

Many experimental studies of protein deposition on solid surfaces involve alternating adsorption/desorption steps. In this paper, we investigate the effect of a desorption step (se…

Enhancing search efficiency through diffusive echo

Charles Antoine, Julian Talbot

Despite having been studied for decades, first passage processes remain an active area of research. In this contribution we examine a particle diffusing in an annulus with an inner…

Effect of dynamic and static friction on an asymmetric granular piston

Julian Talbot, Pascal Viot

We investigate the influence of dry friction on an asymmetric, granular piston of mass composed of two materials undergoing inelastic collisions with bath particles of mass
