Fluidization induced by Magnetic Interactions in Confined Active Matter

Marco Musacchio, Markus Felber, Matteo Paoluzzi +3

We investigate magnetic active matter in confined geometries using both experiments with magnetic toy robots Hexbugs and simulations of elongated magnetic active Brownian particles…

Rheology of dense vibrated granular flows: non-monotonic response controlled by granular temperature

A. Plati, G. Petrillo, L. de Arcangelis +4

We study the rheology of dense granular materials subjected to vertical vibration {by} using numerical simulations of a stress-imposed vane rheometer. The effective viscosity incre…

Shear profile in a dense packing of large grains

Alessio Quaresima, Andrea Plati, Andrea Gnoli +1

We investigate the shear of a dense bed of refracting supermillimetric grains confined within a transparent horizontal annular cell with a rotating top. The local time correlation…

Rescaling invariance and anomalous energy transport in a small vertical column of grains

Andrea Gnoli, Giorgio Pontuale, Andrea Puglisi +1

It is well known that energy dissipation and finite size can deeply affect the dynamics of granular matter, often making usual hydrodynamic approaches problematic. Here we report o…

Revealing the Nonequilibrium Nature of a Granular Intruder: The Crucial Role of Non-Gaussian Behavior

Dario Lucente, Massimiliano Viale, Andrea Gnoli +2

The characterization of the distance from equilibrium is a debated problem in particular in the treatment of experimental signals. If the signal is a 1-dimensional time-series, suc…

Getting hotter by heating less: How driven granular materials dissipate energy in excess

A. Plati, L. de Arcangelis, A. Gnoli +3

We investigate how the kinetic energy acquired by a dense granular system driven by an external vibration depends on the input energy. Our focus is on the dependence of the granula…
