Collective dynamics of macroscopic photoactive matter under alternating excitation patterns

Sára Lévay, Axel Katona, Raúl Cruz Hidalgo +1

We present experiments on the collective dynamics of macroscopic photoactive self-propelled particles subjected to spatiotemporally varying excitation. The particles move within an…

Transverse vortices induced by modulated granular shear flows of elongated particles

Sára Lévay, Philippe Claudin, Ellák Somfai +1

We perform discrete element method (DEM) simulations of elongated grains in a shear cell for various particle aspect ratios and contact frictions, with an additional heterogeneous…

Cluster dynamics in macroscopic photoactive particles

Sára Lévay, Axel Katona, Hartmut Löwen +2

We present an experimental study on the collective behavior of macroscopic self-propelled particles that are externally excited by light. This property allows testing the system re…

Flow in an hourglass: particle friction and stiffness matter

Tivadar Pongó, Viktória Stiga, János Török +5

Granular flow out of a silo is studied experimentally and numerically. The time evolution of the discharge rate as well as the normal force (apparent weight) at the bottom of the c…

Interacting jammed granular systems

Sára Lévay, David Fischer, Ralf Stannarius +4

More than 30 years ago Edwards and co-authors proposed a model to describe the statistics of granular packings by an ensemble of equiprobable jammed states. Experimental tests of t…
