Rain water transport and storage in a model sandy soil with hydrogel particle additives
Y. Wei, D. J. Durian
We study rain water infiltration and drainage in a dry model sandy soil with superabsorbent hydrogel particle additives by measuring the mass of retained water for non-ponding rain…
Depth-dependent resistance of granular media to vertical penetration
T. A. Brzinski, P. Mayor, D. J. Durian
We measure the quasi-static friction force acting on intruders moving downwards into a granular medium. By utilizing different intruder geometries, we demonstrate that the force ac…
Granular discharge rate for submerged hoppers
T. J. Wilson, C. R. Pfeifer, N. Mesyngier +1
The discharge of spherical grains from a hole in the bottom of a right circular cylinder is measured with the entire system underwater. We find that the discharge rate depends on f…
Structure and coarsening at the surface of a dry three-dimensional aqueous foam
A. E. Roth, B. G. Chen, D. J. Durian
We utilize total-internal reflection to isolate the two-dimensional `surface foam' formed at the planar boundary of a three-dimensional sample. The resulting images of surface Plat…
Drag force scaling for penetration into granular media
H. Katsuragi, D. J. Durian
Impact dynamics is measured for spherical and cylindrical projectiles of many different densities dropped onto a variety non-cohesive granular media. The results are analyzed in te…
