Reciprocal swimming in viscoelastic granular hydrogels
Hongyi Xiao, Jing Wang, Achim Sack +2
We experimentally study a scallop-like swimmer with reciprocally flapping wings in a nearly frictionless, cohesive granular medium consisting of hydrogel spheres. Significant locom…
Force on a sphere suspended in flowing granulate
Jing Wang, Bo Fan, Tivadar Pongó +3
We investigate the force of flowing granular material on an obstacle. A sphere suspended in a discharging silo experiences both the weight of the overlaying layers and drag of the…
Pressure sensitivity in non-local flow behaviour of dense hydrogel particle suspensions
Zohreh Farmani, Nazanin Ghods, Harkirat Singh +5
Slowly sheared particulate media like sand and suspensions flow heterogeneously as they yield via shear bands, in which most strain accumulates. Understanding shear band localizati…
Magnetic Resonance Imaging study of sheared granular matter
Jing Wang, Zohreh Farmani, Joshua Dijksman +3
We introduce a Magnetic Resonance Imaging technique to study the geometry of shear zones of soft, low-frictional and hard, frictional granular materials and their mixtures. Hydroge…
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…
Intermittent flow and transient congestions of soft spheres passing narrow orifices
Kirsten Harth, Jing Wang, Tamás Börzsönyi +1
Soft, low-friction particles in silos show peculiar features during their discharge. The outflow velocity and the clogging probability both depend upon the momentary silo fill heig…
