Intruders cooperatively interact with a wall into granular matter
M. Espinosa, V. L. Díaz, A. Serrano +1
When a cylindrical object penetrates granular matter near a vertical boundary, it experiences two effects: its center of mass moves horizontally away from the wall, and it rotates…
E. coli "super-contaminates" narrow ducts fostered by broad run-time distribution
Nuris Figueroa-Morales, Aramis Rivera, Rodrigo Soto +3
One striking feature of bacterial motion is their ability to swim upstream along corners and crevices, by leveraging hydrodynamic interactions. This motion through anatomic ducts o…
Preliminary experiments demonstrating a "directed" Maxwell's granular demon
Frank Corrales, Yuri Nahmad, Ernesto Altshuler
In this paper, we design a system of two symmetrical containers communicated by an aperture, in which a granular gas of glass spheres is created by shaking laterally the whole syst…
Intermittent and continuos flows in granular piles: effects of controlling the feeding height
L. Alonso-Llanes, L. Domínguez-Rubio, E. Martínez +1
Using a specially designed experimental set up, we have studied the so-called continuous to intermittent flow transition in sand piles confined in a Hele-Shaw cell where the deposi…
