Flow of magnetic repelling grains in a two-dimensional silo
G. Lumay, J. Schockmel, D. Henández-Enríquez +3
During a typical silo discharge, the material flow rate is determined by the contact forces between the grains. Here, we report an original study concerning the discharge of a two-…
Rotation of a melting ice at the surface of a pool
S. Dorbolo, N. Adami, C. Dubois +3
Large circular ice blocks up to 80 m of diameter have been observed on frozen river around the world. This rare event has been reported in a publication in 1993. This fascinating s…
Remote control of self-assembled microswimmers
Galien Grosjean, Guillaume Lagubeau, Alexis Darras +3
Physics governing the locomotion of microorganisms and other microsystems is dominated by viscous damping. An effective swimming strategy involves the non-reciprocal and periodic d…
Compound droplet manipulations on fiber arrays
Floriane Weyer, Marjorie Lismont, Laurent Dreesen +1
Recent works demonstrated that fiber arrays may constitue the basis of an open digital microfluidics. Various processes, such as droplet motion, fragmentation, trapping, release, m…
Toward Bernal Random Loose Packing through freeze-thaw cycling
F. Ludewig, N. Vandewalle, S. Dorbolo +2
We study the effect of freeze-thaw cycling on the packing fraction of equal spheres immersed in water. The water located between the grains experiences a dilatation during freezing…
