Preferential Root Tropism Induced by Structural Inhomogeneities in 2D Wet Granular Media
Cesare M. Cejas, Lawrence A. Hough, Raphaël Beaufret +3
We investigate certain aspects of the physical mechanisms of root growth in a granular medium and how these roots adapt to changes in water distribution induced by the presence of…
Experimental investigation of water distribution in two-phase zone during gravity-dominated evaporation
C. Cejas, J. -C. Castaing, L. A. Hough +2
We characterize the water repartition within the partially saturated (two-phase) zone (PSZ) during evaporation out of mixed wettable porous media by controlling the wettability of…
Effect of geometry on the dewetting of granular chains by evaporation
Cesare M. Cejas, Lawrence A. Hough, Christian Frétigny +1
Understanding evaporation or drying in granular media still remains complex despite recent advancements. Evaporation depends on liquid transport across a connected film network fro…
Emergent hyperuniformity in periodically-driven emulsions
Joost H. Weijs, Raphaël Jeanneret, Rémi Dreyfus +1
We report the emergence of large-scale hyperuniformity in microfluidic emulsions. Upon periodic driving confined emulsions undergo a first-order transition from a reversible to an…
Diagnosing hyperuniformity in two-dimensional disordered jammed-packings of soft spheres
Remi Dreyfus, Ye Xu, Tim Still +3
Hyperuniformity characterizes a state of matter for which density fluctuations diminish towards zero at the largest length scales. However, the task of determining whether or not a…
A Simple Analytical Model of Evaporation in the Presence of Roots
Cesare M. Cejas, Larry Hough, Jean-Christophe Castaing +2
Root systems can influence the dynamics of evapotranspiration of water out of a porous medium. The coupling of evapotranspiration remains a key aspect affecting overall root behavi…
