Cavitation Onset in an Impulsively Accelerated Liquid Column
Taj Sobral, John Kokkalis, Kay Romann +2
This paper introduces a novel piston-driven apparatus to study the onset of cavitation in an impulsively accelerated liquid column as it compresses a closed gas volume. The experim…
Deformation of loops in 2D packing of flexible rods
T. A. Sobral, V. H. de Holanda, F. C. B. Leal +1
The injection of a long flexible rod into a two-dimensional domain yields a complex pattern commonly studied through elasticity theory, packing analysis, and fractal geometries. "L…
Lyapunov exponent in the Vicsek model
L. H. Miranda-Filho, T. A. Sobral, A. J. F. de Souza +2
The well-known Vicsek model describes the dynamics of a flock of self-propelled particles (SPPs). Surprisingly, there is no direct measure of the chaotic behavior of such systems.…
Unpacking of a crumpled wire from two-dimensional cavities
Thiago A Sobral, Marcelo A F Gomes, Núbia R Machado +1
The physics of tightly packed structures of a wire and other threadlike materials confined in cavities has been explored in recent years in connection with crumpled systems and a n…
Tight packing of a flexible rod in two-dimensional cavities
T A Sobral, M A F Gomes
The present work deals with the injection and packing of a flexible polymeric rod of length into a simply connected rectangular domain of area . As the injection proceeds,…
Packing loops into annular cavities
T A Sobral, M A F Gomes
The continuous packing of a flexible rod in two-dimensional cavities yields a countable set of interacting domains that resembles non-equilibrium cellular systems and belongs to a…
