Kinetics of coagulation phenomena from a granular matter perspective
Gustavo Castillo, Nicolás Mujica
Aggregation processes play a central role in systems ranging from aerosol coagulation and cloud formation to dust growth in protoplanetary disks and granular materials. These proce…
Unjamming in a 3D Granular System: The Micromechanical Role of Friction in Force Distributions and Rheological Properties
Vicente Salinas, Héctor Alarcón, Eduardo Rojas +2
In this work, we investigate the unjamming transition in a three-dimensional granular system composed of frictional spheres, in which the packing fraction is systematically reduced…
Impact of Initial Charge Distributions on the Kinetics of Charged Particle Coagulation
Gustavo Castillo, Nicolás Mujica
We investigate the kinetics of particle aggregation within the framework of the Smoluchowski coagulation equation, extending it to account for electrostatic interactions among char…
Wave spectroscopy in a driven granular material
Michael Berhanu, Simon Merminod, Gustavo Castillo +1
Driven granular media constitute model systems in out-of-equilibrium statistical physics. By assimilating the motions of granular particles to those of atoms, by analogy, one can o…
Stability of a tilted granular monolayer: How many spheres can we pick before the collapse?
Eduardo Rojas, Héctor Alarcón, Vicente Salinas +2
The triggering of avalanches is investigated using discrete element simulations for a process of random extraction of spheres. A monolayer, formed by identical spheres in a hexagon…
Tuning the distance to the equipartition by controlling the collision rate in a driven granular gas experiment
Gustavo Castillo, Simon Merminod, Eric Falcon +1
In a granular gas experiment of magnetized particles confined in a thin layer, the rate of dissipative collisions is tuned by adjusting the amplitude of an external magnetic field.…
