Stress network dynamics influence on large particle segregation
Alexander J. Navarrete, Leonardo Gordillo, Tomás Trewhela
A plethora of natural and industrial shear-driven granular flows exhibit particle-size segregation. Its occurrence is commonly attributed to two primary mechanisms: kinetic sieving…

Inertia-Dilatancy Interplay Governs Shear-Thickening Drop Impact
Anahita Mobaseri, Leonardo Gordillo, Charles Burton +5
Combining high-speed photography with direct force measurements, we investigate the impact dynamics of drops of cornstarch-water mixtures -- a premier example of shear-thickening f…

Fluid Motion Makes the Bottle-Flip Challenge Mechanically Unintuitive But Viable
Patricio Morales, Victor Ahumada, Leonardo Gordillo +1
The bottle-flip challenge -- the upright landing of a partially filled bottle after tossing and flipping it in the air -- unexpectedly became a viral mechanics exercise. Through hi…
