The Universality Class of Diffusion Limited Aggregation and Viscous Fingering
Joachim Mathiesen, Itamar Procaccia, Harry L. Swinney +1
We investigate whether fractal viscous fingering and diffusion limited aggregates are in the same scaling universality class. We bring together the largest available viscous finger…
Signatures of glass formation in a fluidized bed of hard spheres
Daniel I. Goldman, Harry L. Swinney
We demonstrate that a fluidized bed of hard spheres during defluidization displays properties associated with formation of a glass. The final state is rate dependent, and as this s…
Fjords in viscous fingering: Selection of width and opening angle
Leif Ristroph, Matthew Thrasher, Mark B. Mineev-Weinstein +1
Our experiments on viscous fingering of air into oil contained between closely spaced plates reveal two selection rules for the fjords of oil that separate fingers of air. (Fjords…
From time series to superstatistics
Christian Beck, Ezechiel G. D. Cohen, Harry L. Swinney
Complex nonequilibrium systems are often effectively described by a `statistics of a statistics', in short, a `superstatistics'. We describe how to proceed from a given experimenta…
Statistical mechanics of two-dimensional turbulence
Sunghwan Jung, P. J. Morrison, Harry L. Swinney
The statistical mechanical description of two-dimensional inviscid fluid turbulence is reconsidered. Using this description, we make predictions about turbulent flow in a rapidly r…
Velocity difference statistics in turbulence
Sunghwan Jung, Harry L. Swinney
We unify two approaches that have been taken to explain the non-Gaussian probability distribution functions (PDFs) obtained in measurements of longitudinal velocity differences in…
Stationary state volume fluctuations in a granular medium
Matthias Schröter, Daniel I. Goldman, Harry L. Swinney
A statistical description of static granular material requires ergodic sampling of the phase space spanned by the different configurations of the particles. We periodically fluidiz…
