Cooling of a granular gas mixture in microgravity
Dmitry Puzyrev, Torsten Trittel, Kirsten Harth +1
Granular gases are fascinating non-equilibrium systems with interesting features such as spontaneous clustering and non-Gaussian velocity distributions. Mixtures of different compo…
The structure of disintegrating defect clusters in smectic C freely suspended films
Ralf Stannarius, Kirsten Harth
Disclinations or disclination clusters in smectic C freely suspended films with topological charges larger than one are unstable. They disintegrate, preferably in a spatially symme…
The effect of obstacles near a silo outlet on the discharge of soft spheres
Jing Wang, Kirsten Harth, Dmitry Puzyrev +1
Soft smooth particles in silo discharge show peculiar characteristics, including, for example, non-permanent clogging and intermittent flow. This paper describes a study of soft, l…
Secondary flow in ensembles of non-convex granular particles under shear
Mahdieh Mohammadi, Dmitry Puzyrev, Torsten Trittel +1
Studies of granular materials, both theoretical and experimental, are often restricted to convex grain shapes. We demonstrate that a non-convex grain shape can lead to a qualitativ…
Magnetic Resonance Imaging study of sheared granular matter
Jing Wang, Zohreh Farmani, Joshua Dijksman +3
We introduce a Magnetic Resonance Imaging technique to study the geometry of shear zones of soft, low-frictional and hard, frictional granular materials and their mixtures. Hydroge…
Packing, alignment and flow of shape-anisotropic grains in a 3D silo experiment
Tamás Börzsönyi, Ellák Somfai, Balázs Szabó +4
Granular material flowing through bottlenecks like the openings of silos tend to clog and to inhibit further flow. We study this phenomenon in a three-dimensional hopper for spheri…
