Magnetic levitation in the field of a rotating dipole
Grégoire Le Lay, Sarah Layani, Adrian Daerr +5
It is well known that two permanent magnets of fixed orientation will either always repel or attract one another regardless of the distance between them. However, if one magnet is…
Surface instabilities generated by a slider pulled across a granular bed
Antoine Dop, Valérie Vidal, Nicolas Taberlet
We report an instability of a slider slowly dragged at the surface of a granular bed in a quasistatic regime. The boat-shaped slider sits on the granular medium under its own weigh…
How dirt cones form on glaciers: field observation, laboratory experiments and modeling
Marceau Hénot, Vincent J. Langlois, Nicolas Plihon +1
Dirt cones are meter-scale structures encountered at the surface of glaciers, which consist of ice cones covered by a thin layer of ashes, sand or gravel, and which form naturally…
Onset of glacier tables
Marceau Hénot, Nicolas Plihon, Nicolas Taberlet
A glacier table consists of a rock supported by a slender column of ice and form naturally on glaciers. We investigate the onset of their formation at a smaller scale in a controll…
Small Solar System Bodies as granular media
D. Hestroffer, P. Sánchez, L. Staron +12
Asteroids and other Small Solar System Bodies (SSSBs) are of high general and scientific interest in many aspects. The origin, formation, and evolution of our Solar System (and oth…
Synthetic Schlieren -- application to the visualization and characterization of air convection
Nicolas Taberlet, Nicolas Plihon, Lucile Auzémery +3
Synthetic schlieren is an digital image processing optical method relying on the variation of optical index to visualize the flow of a transparent fluid. In this article, we presen…
