Theory of self-assembly of microtubules and motors
Igor S. Aronson, Lev S. Tsimring
We derive a model describing spatio-temporal organization of an array of microtubules interacting via molecular motors. Starting from a stochastic model of inelastic polar rods wit…
Transverse Instability of Avalanches in Granular Flows down Incline
Igor S. Aranson, Florent Malloggi, Eric Clement
Avalanche experiments on an erodible substrate are treated in the framework of ``partial fluidization'' model of dense granular flows. The model identifies a family of propagating…
Patterns and Collective Behavior in Granular Media: Theoretical Concepts
Igor S. Aranson, Lev S. Tsimring
Granular materials are ubiquitous in our daily lives. While they have been a subject of intensive engineering research for centuries, in the last decade granular matter attracted s…
Velocity Distributions of Granular Gases with Drag and with Long-Range Interactions
K. Kohlstedt, A. Snezhko, M. V. Sapozhnikov +3
We study velocity statistics of electrostatically driven granular gases. For two different experiments: (i) non-magnetic particles in a viscous fluid and (ii) magnetic particles in…
Pattern formation of microtubules and motors: inelastic interaction of polar rods
Igor S. Aranson, Lev S. Tsimring
We derive a model describing spatio-temporal organization of an array of microtubules interacting via molecular motors. Starting from a stochastic model of inelastic polar rods wit…
