Growth of barchan dunes of bidispersed granular mixtures
Carlos Azael Alvarez Zambrano, Fernando David Cúñez Benalcázar, Erick de Moraes Franklin
Barchans are dunes of crescentic shape found on Earth, Mars and other celestial bodies, growing usually on polydisperse granular beds. In this Letter, we investigate experimentally…
Motion and clustering of bonded particles in narrow solid-liquid fluidized beds
Fernando David Cúñez, Nicolao Cerqueira Lima, Erick de Moraes Franklin
This paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation of solid-liquid fluidized beds consisting of bonded spheres in very narrow tubes, i.e., when the ratio between the t…
Crystallization and jamming in narrow fluidized beds
Fernando David Cúñez, Erick de Moraes Franklin
A fluidized bed is basically a suspension of granular material by an ascending fluid in a tube, and it has a rich dynamics that includes clustering and pattern formation. When the…
Plug regime in water fluidized beds in very narrow tubes
Fernando David Cúñez Benalcázar, Erick de Moraes Franklin
The dynamics of granular plugs in water fluidized beds in narrow tubes is investigated here both experimentally and numerically. The fluidized beds were formed in a 25.4 mm-ID tube…
Turbulent channel flow perturbed by triangular ripples
Fernando David Cúñez Benalcázar, Gabriel Victor Gomes de Oliveira, Erick de Moraes Franklin
This paper presents an experimental investigation of the perturbation of a turbulent closed-conduit flow by two-dimensional triangular ripples. Two ripple configurations were emplo…
