Transition from granular to Brownian suspension : an inclined plane experiment
Alice Billon, Yoël Forterre, Olivier Pouliquen +1
We experimentally revisite the flow down an inclined plane of dense granular suspensions, with particles of sizes in the micron range, for which thermal fluctuations cannot be igno…
A new scenario for gravity detection in plants: the position sensor hypothesis
Oliver Pouliquen, Yoël Forterre, Antoine Bérut +4
The detection of gravity plays a fundamental role during the growth and evolution of plants. Although progress has been made in our understanding of the molecular, cellular and phy…
Longitudinal Vortices in Granular Flows
Yoel Forterre, Olivier Pouliquen
We present a new instability observed in rapid granular flows down rough inclined planes. For high inclinations and flow rates, the free surface of the flow experiences a regular d…
Friction law for dense granular flows: application to the motion of a mass down a rough inclined plane
Olivier Pouliquen, Yoel Forterre
The problem of the spreading of a granular mass released at the top of a rough inclined plane was investigated. We experimentally measure the evolution of the avalanche from the in…
