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-…
Statics and dynamics of magnetocapillary bonds
Guillaume Lagubeau, Galien Grosjean, Alexis Darras +3
When ferromagnetic particles are suspended at an interface under magnetic fields, dipole-dipole interactions compete with capillary attraction. This combination of forces has recen…
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…
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…
