Dynamics and clustering of sedimenting disc lattices
Harshit Joshi, Rahul Chajwa, Sriram Ramaswamy +2
Uniform arrays of particles tend to cluster as they sediment in viscous fluids. Shape anisotropy of the particles enriches these dynamics by modifying the mode-structure and the re…
Facilitating a 3D granular flow with an obstruction
Abhijit Sinha, Jackson Diodati, Narayanan Menon +2
Ensuring a smooth rate of efflux of particles from an outlet without unpredictable clogging events is crucial in processing powders and grains. We show by experiments and simulatio…
Hindered stokesian settling of discs and rods
Yating Zhang, Narayanan Menon
We report measurements of the mean settling velocities for suspensions of discs and rods in the stokes regime for a number of particle aspect ratios. All these shapes display ''hin…
Long-lived Giant Number Fluctuations in a Swarming Granular Nematic
Vijay Narayan, Sriram Ramaswamy, Narayanan Menon
Coherently moving flocks of birds, beasts or bacteria are examples of living matter with spontaneous orientational order. How do these systems differ from thermal equilibrium syste…
Inelastic impact of a sphere on a massive plane: nonmonotonic velocity-dependence of the restitution coefficient
Hunter King, Ryan White, Iva Maxwell +1
We have studied the coefficient of restitution, , in normal collisions of a non-rotating sphere on a massive plate for a range of material parameters, impact velocity and sphere…
