Crystalline and polycrystalline regimes in a periodically sheared 2-dimensional system of disks

Siyuan Su, Jie Zhang, Charles Radin +1

A layer of monodisperse circular steel disks in a nearly square horizontal cell forms, for shear amplitudes SA 0.08, hexagonal close-packed crystallites that grow and merge u…

Homogeneous crystallization in cyclically sheared frictionless grains

Weiwei Jin, Corey S. O'Hern, Charles Radin +2

Many experiments over the past half century have shown that, for a range of protocols, granular materials compact under pressure and repeated small disturbances. A recent experimen…

Phases of granular matter

Charles Radin, Harry L. Swinney

An understanding of homogeneous nucleation of crystalline structure from a disordered medium such as a liquid remains an important unsolved problem in condensed matter physics. Gui…

Internal wave energy flux from density perturbations in nonlinear stratifications

Frank M. Lee, Michael R. Allshouse, Harry L. Swinney +1

Internal gravity wave energy contributes significantly to the energy budget of the oceans, affecting mixing and the thermohaline circulation. Hence it is important to determine the…

Nucleation in sheared granular matter

Frank Rietz, Charles Radin, Harry L. Swinney +1

We present an experiment on crystallization of packings of macroscopic granular spheres. This system is often considered to be a model for thermally driven atomic or colloidal syst…

Observations of the stratorotational instability in rotating concentric cylinders

Ruy Ibanez, Harry L. Swinney, Bruce Rodenborn

We study the stability of density stratified flow between co-rotating vertical cylinders with rotation rates and radius ratio , where subscripts and…
