The pseudo-two-dimensional dynamics in a system of macroscopic rolling spheres
M. A. López-Castaño, J. F. González-Saavedra, A. Rodríguez-Rivas +3
We study in this work the dynamics of a collection of identical hollow spheres (ping-pong balls) that rest on a horizontal metallic grid. Fluidization is achieved by means of a tur…
Zero-gravity thermal convection in granular gases
Álvaro Rodríguez-Rivas, Miguel A. López-Castaño, Francisco Vega Reyes
Previous experimental and theoretical evidence has shown that convective flow may appear in granular fluids if subjected to a thermal gradient and gravity (Rayleigh-Bénard-type con…
Structural properties of the Jagla fluid
Mariano López de Haro, Álvaro Rodríguez-Rivas, Santos B. Yuste +1
The structural properties of the Jagla fluid are studied by Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, numerical solutions of integral equation theories, and the (semi-analytical) rational-func…
