Collective behavior of composite active particles
Joshua Eglinton, Mike I. Smith, Michael R. Swift
We describe simulations of active Brownian particles carried out to explore how dynamics and clustering are influenced by particle shape. Our particles are composed of four disks,…
Magnetic Levitation Stabilized by Streaming Fluid Flows
K. A. Baldwin, J. -B. de Fouchier, P. Atkinson +3
We demonstrate that the ubiquitous laboratory magnetic stirrer provides a simple passive method of magnetic levitation, in which the so-called `flea' levitates indefinitely. We stu…
A Maxwell Construction for Phase Separation in Vibrated Granular Matter?
James P. D. Clewett, Jack Wade, R. M. Bowley +3
Experiments and computer simulations are carried out to investigate ordering principles in a granular gas which phase separates under vibration. The densities of the dilute and the…
Propulsion of a two-sphere swimmer
Daphne Klotsa, Kyle A. Baldwin, Richard J. A. Hill +2
We describe experiments and simulations demonstrating the propulsion of a neutrally-buoyant swimmer that consists of a pair of spheres attached by a spring, immersed in a vibrating…
Scaling forces to asteroid surfaces: The role of cohesion
D. J. Scheeres, C. M. Hartzell, P. Sanchez +1
The scaling of physical forces to the extremely low ambient gravitational acceleration regimes found on the surfaces of small asteroids is performed. Resulting from this, it is fou…
Effects of Pore Walls and Randomness on Phase Transitions in Porous Media
Marek Cieplak, Amos Maritan, Michael R. Swift +2
We study spin models within the mean field approximation to elucidate the topology of the phase diagrams of systems modeling the liquid-vapor transition and the separation of He$^3…
