Towards probing velocity distributions in dense granular matter: Utilizing Fiber Bragg Gratings
Marlo Kunzner, Luis Henriques, Fahad Puthalath +8
Granular gases are commonly characterized through their velocity distribution, which provides access to the granular temperature. In experiments, velocity distributions are typical…

The Dynamics in Vibro-fluidized Beds: A Diffusing Wave Spectroscopy Study
Marlo Kunzner, Christopher Mayo, Matthias Sperl +1
We demonstrate the densification of a granular model system of polystyrene spheres over time by shaking with varying excitation amplitudes or effective temperatures. This densifica…
