Soft matter physics of the ground beneath our feet
Anne Voigtländer, Morgane Houssais, Karol A. Bacik +24
Inspired by presentations by the authors during a workshop organized at the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science (PCTS) in January 2022, we present a perspective on some of the…
Strain hardening by sediment transport
Fernando David Cúñez Benalcázar, Erick de Moraes Franklin, Morgane Houssais +2
The critical fluid-shear stress for the onset of sediment transport, , varies with the history of applied shear. This effect has been attributed to compaction, but the role of…
Sediment creep triggered by porous flow
Morgane Houssais, Charles Maldarelli, Jeffrey F. Morris
Quasi-2D experiments of a submerged sediment layer creeping downward were performed, varying the channel tilt and a porous flow under the respective thresholds for yielding. Logari…
Soil granular dynamics on-a-chip: fluidization inception under scrutiny
Morgane Houssais, Charles Maldarelli, Jeffrey F. Morris
Predicting rapid and slower soil evolution remains a scientific challenge. This process involves poorly understood aspects of disordered granular matter and dense suspension dynami…
River-bed armoring as a granular segregation phenomenon
Behrooz Ferdowsi, Carlos P. Ortiz, Morgane Houssais +1
Gravel-river beds typically have an "armored" layer of coarse grains on the surface, which acts to protect finer particles underneath from erosion. River bed-load transport is a ki…
Rheology of sediment transported by a laminar flow
M. Houssais, C. P. Ortiz, D. J. Durian +1
Understanding the dynamics of fluid-driven sediment transport remains challenging, as it is an intermediate region between a granular material and a fluid flow. Boyer \textit{et al…
