Pearling instability of nanoscale fluid flow confined to a chemical channel

J. Koplik, T. S. Lo, M. Rauscher +1

We investigate the flow of a nano-scale incompressible ridge of low-volatility liquid along a "chemical channel": a long, straight, and completely wetting stripe embedded in a plan…

Effective temperature and jamming transition in dense, gently sheared granular assemblies

Fabricio Q. Potiguar, Hernan A. Makse

We present extensive computational results for the effective temperature, defined by the fluctuation-dissipation relation between the mean square displacement and the average displ…

Numerical Study of the Stress Response of Two-Dimensional Dense Granular Packings

N. Gland, P. Wang, Hernan A. Makse

We investigate the Green function of two-dimensional dense random packings of grains in order to discriminate between the different theories of stress transmission in granular mate…

Granular dynamics in compaction and stress relaxation

Jasna Brujic, Ping Wang, Chaoming Song +3

Elastic and dissipative properties of granular assemblies under uniaxial compression are studied both experimentally and by numerical simulations. Following a novel compaction proc…

Slip, immiscibility and boundary conditions at the liquid-liquid interface

Joel Koplik, Jayanth R. Banavar

The conventional boundary conditions at the interface between two flowing liquids include continuity of the tangential velocity. We have tested this assumption with molecular dynam…

Lattice-Boltzmann Method for Non-Newtonian Fluid Flows

Susana Gabbanelli, German Drazer, Joel Koplik

We study an ad hoc extension of the Lattice-Boltzmann method that allows the simulation of non-Newtonian fluids described by generalized Newtonian models. We extensively test the a…

Statistical Mechanics of Jammed Matter

Hernan A. Makse, Jasna Brujic, Sam F. Edwards

A thermodynamic formulation of jammed matter is reviewed. Experiments and simulations of compressed emulsions and granular materials are then used to provide a foundation for the t…

Experimental and computational studies of jamming

Chaoming Song, Ping Wang, Fabricio Potiguar +1

Jamming is a common feature of out of equilibrium systems showing slow relaxation dynamics. Here we review our efforts in understanding jamming in granular materials using experime…

A basis for the statistical mechanics of granular systems

Sam. F. Edwards, Jasna Brujic, Hernan A. Makse

This paper aims to justify the use of statistical mechanics tools in situations where the system is out of equilibrium and jammed. Specifically, we derive a Boltzmann equation for…

Granular Packings: Nonlinear elasticity, sound propagation and collective relaxation dynamics

Hernan A. Makse, Nicolas Gland, David L. Johnson +1

Experiments on isotropic compression of a granular assembly of spheres show that the shear and bulk moduli vary with the confining pressure faster than the 1/3 power law predicted…

Surface Shape of Two-Dimensional Granular Piles

Bo Jin, Fang Xu, Hernan A. Makse

We study the surface shape of two-dimensional piles using experiments and a continuum theory for surface flows of granular materials (the BCRE equations). We first obtain an analyt…

Hysteresis, force oscillations and non-equilibrium effects in the adhesion of spherical nanoparticles to atomically smooth surfaces

German Drazer, Boris Khusid, Joel Koplik +1

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to examine hysteretic effects and distinctions between equilibrium and non-equilibrium aspects of particle adsorption on the walls of nano-s…

Jamming transition in emulsions and granular materials

H. P. Zhang, H. A. Makse

We investigate the jamming transition in packings of emulsions and granular materials via molecular dynamics simulations. The emulsion model is composed of frictionless droplets in…
