Liquid-crystal-based topological photonics
Hamed Abbaszadeh, Michel Fruchart, Wim van Saarloos +1
Topological photonics harnesses the physics of topological insulators to control the behavior of light. Photonic modes robust against material imperfections are an example of such…
Subcritical instabilities in plane Poiseuille flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid
Alexander Morozov, Wim van Saarloos
Recently, detailed experiments on visco-elastic channel flow have provided convincing evidence for a nonlinear instability scenario which we had argued for based on calculations fo…
Coherent structures in Dissipative Particle Dynamics simulations of the transition to turbulence in compressible shear flows
Jan-Willem van de Meent, Alexander Morozov, Ellak Somfai +2
We present simulations of coherent structures in compressible flows near the transition to turbulence using the Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) method. The structures we find a…
Localization behavior of vibrational modes in granular packings
Zorana Zeravcic, Wim van Saarloos, David R. Nelson
We study the localization of vibrational modes of frictionless granular media. We introduce a new method, motivated by earlier work on non-Hermitian quantum problems, which works w…
Force Mobilization and Generalized Isostaticity in Jammed Packings of Frictional Grains
Kostya Shundyak, Martin van Hecke, Wim van Saarloos
We show that in slowly generated 2d packings of frictional spheres, a significant fraction of the friction forces lies at the Coulomb threshold - for small pressure p and friction…
Critical scaling in linear response of frictionless granular packings near jamming
Wouter G. Ellenbroek, Ellak Somfai, Martin van Hecke +1
We study the origin of the scaling behavior in frictionless granular media above the jamming transition by analyzing their linear response. The response to local forcing is non-sel…
