Collective dynamics of macroscopic photoactive matter under alternating excitation patterns

Sára Lévay, Axel Katona, Raúl Cruz Hidalgo +1

We present experiments on the collective dynamics of macroscopic photoactive self-propelled particles subjected to spatiotemporally varying excitation. The particles move within an…

Pressure dynamics in the bottleneck flow of self-propelled particles

N Colantuono, M Ramdan Ferressini, I Zuriguel +2

We present an experimental investigation of the pressure dynamics during the flow of self-propelled particles through narrow passages. When the ensemble is flowing, pressure fluctu…

Transverse vortices induced by modulated granular shear flows of elongated particles

Sára Lévay, Philippe Claudin, Ellák Somfai +1

We perform discrete element method (DEM) simulations of elongated grains in a shear cell for various particle aspect ratios and contact frictions, with an additional heterogeneous…

Cluster dynamics in macroscopic photoactive particles

Sára Lévay, Axel Katona, Hartmut Löwen +2

We present an experimental study on the collective behavior of macroscopic self-propelled particles that are externally excited by light. This property allows testing the system re…

Efficient transport controlled by biharmonic frictional driving

Martin Maza-Cuello, Diego Maza

Dry friction has been proposed as a rectifying mechanism allowing mass transport over a vibrating surface, even when vibrations are horizontal and unbiased. It has been suggested t…

Effect of particle shape on the flow of an hourglass

Bo Fan, Tivadar Pongó, Raúl Cruz Hidalgo +1

The flow rate of a granulate out of a cylindrical container is studied as a function of particle shape for flat and elongated ellipsoids experimentally and numerically. We find a n…

Silo discharge of mixtures of soft and rigid grains

Jing Wang, Bo Fan, Tivadar Pongó +6

We study the outflow dynamics and clogging phenomena of mixtures of soft, elastic low-friction spherical grains and hard frictional spheres of similar size in a quasi-two-dimension…

Entropy-Driven Attraction of Heavy Spheres in a Harmonically Driven Bath of Poppy Seeds

J. M. Schins

We develop the simplest possible theory that gives reason of the recent experimental observations that two heavy spheres, immersed into a mono-layer bath of poppy seeds, attract on…

A topological method to characterize tapped granular media from the position of the particles

Sergio Ardanza-Trevijano, Iker Zuriguel, Roberto Arevalo +1

We use the first Betti number of a complex to characterize the morphological structure of granular samples in mechanical equilibrium. We analyze two-dimensional granular packings a…
