Skimming transition in flexible granular sweeping
Y. Ochi, H. Katsuragi
A flexible body placed in a steady flow bends to reduce drag. This self-streamlining is a hallmark of fluid-structure interaction (FSI). Granular-structure interaction is equally u…

Scaling of microcraters with molten rims derived from laser-induced cratering experiments
S. Sato, H. Shibayama, K. Nagai +1
Microcraters with molten rims are widely observed in returned samples from the Moon and asteroids. These features reflect the conditions of small-scale impact events, but the impac…

Time-resolved sedimentation of dense potato-starch suspensions measured by optical coherence tomography
T. Saiki, H. Katsuragi
We demonstrate optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a measurement technique for dense, optically opaque suspensions. Conventional optical methods cannot access the interior of suc…
