Development and geometry of isotropic and directional shrinkage crack patterns
Kelly A. Shorlin, John R. de Bruyn, Malcolm Graham +1
We have studied shrinkage crack patterns which form when a thin layer of an alumina/water slurry dries. Both isotropic and directional drying were studied. The dynamics of the patt…
Continuum-type stability balloon in oscillated granular layers
John R. de Bruyn, C. Bizon, M. D. Shattuck +3
The stability of convection rolls in a fluid heated from below is limited by secondary instabilities, including the skew-varicose and crossroll instabilities. We observe a stabilit…
Annular electroconvection with shear
Zahir A. Daya, V. B. Deyirmenjian, Stephen W. Morris +1
We report experiments on convection driven by a radial electrical force in suspended annular smectic A liquid crystal films. In the absence of an externally imposed azimuthal shear…
Electroconvection in a Suspended Fluid Film: A Linear Stability Analysis
Zahir A. Daya, Stephen W. Morris, John R. de Bruyn
A suspended fluid film with two free surfaces convects when a sufficiently large voltage is applied across it. We present a linear stability analysis for this system. The forces dr…
Early stages of ramified growth in quasi-two-dimensional electrochemical deposition
John R. de Bruyn
I have measured the early stages of the growth of branched metal aggregates formed by electrochemical deposition in very thin layers. The growth rate of spatial Fourier modes is de…
Boundary-induced wavelength selection in a one-dimensional pattern-forming system
S. S. Mao, J. R. de Bruyn, S. W. Morris
We have measured the stability boundary for steady electrically-driven convective flow in thin, freely suspended films of Smectic-A liquid crystal. The thinness and layered structu…
