The Kovacs memory effect in a thin granular layer: experimental evidence and its physical origin
Francisco Vega Reyes, Álvaro Rodríguez-Rivas, Pablo Maynar +1
We report the experimental observation of memory effects in a vertically vibrated thin granular layer. Following a quench in the input acceleration, the granular temperature exhibi…
Chiral flow in a binary mixture of two-dimensional active disks
Miguel Ángel López-Castaño, Álvaro Rodríguez-Rivas, Francisco Vega Reyes
We study, experimentally, the dynamics of a binary mixture of air-fluidized disks. The disks are chiral since they incorporate a set of blades with constant tilt. Both species are…
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…
Memory effects in a gas of viscoelastic particles
E. Mompó, M. A. López-Castaño, A. Torrente +2
We study a granular gas of viscoelastic particles (kinetic energy loss upon collision is a function of the particles' relative velocities at impact) subject to a stochastic thermos…
