Effect of sub-critical fluid shear flow on granular bed strength
Dong Wang, Sophie Bodek, Nicholas T. Ouellette +2
Interactions between fluids and granular materials are prevalent on the Earth's surface. In the case of fluid flow over a sediment bed, the fluid imparts a shear stress to the gran…
Shear response of granular packings compressed above jamming onset
Philip Wang, Shiyun Zhang, Philip Tuckman +3
We investigate the mechanical response of jammed packings of repulsive, frictionless spherical particles undergoing isotropic compression. Prior simulations of the soft-particle mo…
Pair Formation in Insect Swarms Driven by Adaptive Long-Range Interactions
Dan Gorbonos, James G. Puckett, Kasper van der Vaart +3
In swarms of flying insects, the motions of individuals are largely uncoordinated with those of their neighbors, unlike the highly ordered motion of bird flocks. However, it has be…
Similarities between Insect Swarms and Isothermal Globular Clusters
Dan Gorbonos, Kasper van der Vaart, Michael Sinhuber +4
Previous work has suggested that disordered swarms of flying insects can be well modeled as self-gravitating systems, as long as the "gravitational" interaction is adaptive. Motiva…
Comparison of Shear and Compression Jammed Packings of Frictional Disks
F. Xiong, P. Wang, A. H. Clark +4
We compare the structural and mechanical properties of mechanically stable (MS) packings of frictional disks in two spatial dimensions (2D) generated with isotropic compression and…
Thermal History Of Cbb Chondrules And Cooling Rate Distributions Of Ejecta Plumes
R. H. Hewins, C. Condie, M. Morris +3
It has been proposed that some meteorites, CB and CH chondrites, contain material formed as a result of a protoplanetary collision during accretion. Their melt droplets (chondrules…
