Cooling of a granular gas mixture in microgravity

Dmitry Puzyrev, Torsten Trittel, Kirsten Harth +1

Granular gases are fascinating non-equilibrium systems with interesting features such as spontaneous clustering and non-Gaussian velocity distributions. Mixtures of different compo…

The structure of disintegrating defect clusters in smectic C freely suspended films

Ralf Stannarius, Kirsten Harth

Disclinations or disclination clusters in smectic C freely suspended films with topological charges larger than one are unstable. They disintegrate, preferably in a spatially symme…

The effect of obstacles near a silo outlet on the discharge of soft spheres

Jing Wang, Kirsten Harth, Dmitry Puzyrev +1

Soft smooth particles in silo discharge show peculiar characteristics, including, for example, non-permanent clogging and intermittent flow. This paper describes a study of soft, l…

Deformation and relaxation of viscous thin films under bouncing drops

Srinath Lakshman, Walter Tewes, Kirsten Harth +2

Thin, viscous liquid films subjected to impact events can deform. Here we investigate free surface oil film deformations that arise due to the air pressure buildup under the impact…

Silo discharge of mixtures of soft and rigid grains

Jing Wang, Bo Fan, Tivadar Pongó +6

We study the outflow dynamics and clogging phenomena of mixtures of soft, elastic low-friction spherical grains and hard frictional spheres of similar size in a quasi-two-dimension…

A simple model system for self-propelled particles passing a bottleneck

Mahdieh Mohammadi, Kirsten Harth, Dmitry Puzyrev +3

We study the passage of active and passive granular particles through a bottleneck under gravitational bias. The grains are pharmaceutical capsules with nearly spherocylindrical sh…
