Shear instabilities in granular mixtures
Massimo Pica Ciamarra, Mario Nicodemi, Antonio Coniglio
Dynamical instabilities in fluid mechanics are responsible of a variety of important common phenomena, such as waves on the sea surface or Taylor vorteces in Couette flow. In granu…
Statistical Mechanics of segregation in binary granular mixtures
M. Tarzia, A. Fierro, M. Nicodemi +2
We discuss mixing/segregation phenomena in a schematic hard spheres lattice model for binary mixtures of granular media, by analytical evaluation, within Bethe-Peierls approximatio…
Scaling in soft spheres: fragility invariance on the repulsive potential softness
Cristiano De Michele, Francesco Sciortino, Antonio Coniglio
We address the question of the dependence of the fragility of glass forming supercooled liquids on the softness of an interacting potential by performing numerical simulation of a…
Pacman percolation: a model for enzyme gel degradation
T. Abete, A. de Candia, D. Lairez +1
We study a model for the gel degradation by an enzyme, where the gel is schematized as a cubic lattice, and the enzyme as a random walker, that cuts the bonds over which it passes.…
Statistical Mechanics of jamming and segregation in granular media
M. Nicodemi, A. Coniglio, A. de Candia +3
In the framework of schematic hard spheres lattice models we discuss Edwards' Statistical Mechanics approach to granular media. As this approach appears to hold here to a very good…
