High intensity tapping regime in a frustrated lattice gas model of granular compaction
arXiv:1002.3267 · doi:10.1007/s10035-009-0151-5
Abstract
In the frame of a well established lattice gas model for granular compaction, we investigate the high intensity tapping regime where a pile expands significantly during external excitation. We find that this model shows the same general trends as more sophisticated models based on molecular dynamic type simulations. In particular, a minimum in packing fraction as a function of tapping strength is observed in the reversible branch of an annealed tapping protocol.
