Simulations of vibrated granular medium with impact velocity dependent restitution coefficient
Sean Mcnamara, Eric Falcon
We report numerical simulations of strongly vibrated granular materials designed to mimic recent experiments performed both in presence or absence of gravity. The coefficient of re…
Observation of near-critical reflection of internal waves in a stably stratified fluid
Thierry Dauxois, Anthony Didier, Eric Falcon
An experimental study is reported of the near-critical reflection of internal gravity waves over sloping topography in a stratified fluid. An overturning instability close to the s…
Nonlinear electrical conductivity in a 1D granular medium
Eric Falcon, Bernard Castaing, Mathieu Creyssels
We report on observations of the electrical transport within a chain of metallic beads (slightly oxidised) under an applied stress. A transition from an insulating to a conductive…
"Turbulent" electrical transport in Copper powders
Eric Falcon, Bernard Castaing, Claude Laroche
Compressed copper powder has a very large electrical resistance (1MOhm), due to the oxide layer on grains (100 micro m). We observe that its voltage-current U-I characteristics are…
Experimental study of a granular gas fluidized by vibrations
Eric Falcon, Stephan Fauve, Claude Laroche
We report experimental results on the behavior of an ensemble of inelastically colliding particles, excited by a vibrated piston in a vertical cylinder. When the particle number is…
