Wave coarsening drives time crystallization in active solids

Jonas Veenstra, Jack Binysh, Vito Seinen +6

When metals are magnetized, emulsions phase separate, or galaxies cluster, domain walls and patterns form and irremediably coarsen over time. Such coarsening is universally driven…

Non-affine response: jammed packings versus spring networks

Wouter G. Ellenbroek, Zorana Zeravcic, Wim van Saarloos +1

We compare the elastic response of spring networks whose contact geometry is derived from real packings of frictionless discs, to networks obtained by randomly cutting bonds in a h…

Stress singularities and the formation of birefringent strands in stagnation flows of dilute polymer solutions

Paul Becherer, Wim van Saarloos, Alexander N. Morozov

We consider stagnation point flow away from a wall for creeping flow of dilute polymer solutions. For a simplified flow geometry, we explicitly show that a narrow region of strong…

Scaling of singular structures in extensional flow of dilute polymer solutions

Paul Becherer, Alexander N. Morozov, Wim van Saarloos

Recently singular solutions have been discovered in purely elongational flows of visco-elastic fluids. We surmise that these solutions are the mathematical structures underlying th…

Waiting and Residence Times of Brownian Interface Fluctuations

V. W. A. de Villeneuve, J. M. L. van Leeuwen, J. W. J. de Folter +3

We report on the residence times of capillary waves above a given height and on the typical waiting time in between such fluctuations. The measurements were made on phase separ…

Stresses in Smooth Flows of Dense Granular Media

Martin Depken, Jeremy B. Lechman, Martin van Hecke +2

The form of the stress tensor is investigated in smooth, dense granular flows which are generated in split-bottom shear geometries. We find that, within a fluctuation fluidized spa…
