A deterministic model of competitive cluster growth: glassy dynamics, metastability and pattern formation
J. M. Luck, Anita Mehta
We investigate a model of interacting clusters which compete for growth. For a finite assembly of coupled clusters, the largest one always wins, so that all but this one die out in…
Shaken, not stirred: why gravel packs better than bricks
Anita Mehta, J. M. Luck
We explore the effect of shape -- jagged vs. regular -- in the jamming limit of very gently shaken packings. Our measure of shape $\eps$ is the void space occupied by a disordered…
A column of grains in the jamming limit: glassy dynamics in the compaction process
J. M. Luck, Anita Mehta
We investigate a stochastic model describing a column of grains in the jamming limit, in the presence of a low vibrational intensity. The key control parameter of the model, , i…
Why shape matters in granular compaction
Anita Mehta, J. M. Luck
We present a stochastic model of dynamically interacting grains in one dimension, in the presence of a low vibrational intensity, to investigate the effect of shape on the statics…
Inhomogeneous relaxation in vibrated granular media: consolidation waves
G. C. Barker, Anita Mehta
We investigate the spatial dependence of the density of vibrated granular beds, using simulations based on a hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm. We find that the initial consolidation is…
Possible Self-Organised Criticality and Dynamical Clustering of Traffic flow in Open Systems
M. E. Larraga, J. A. del Rio, Anita Mehta
We focus in this work on the study of traffic in open systems using a modified version of an existing cellular automaton model. We demonstrate that the open system is rather differ…
