Compaction of rods: relaxation and ordering in vibrated, anisotropic granular material.
We report on experiments to measure the temporal and spatial evolution of packing arrangements of anisotropic, cylindrical granular material, using high-resolution capacitive monitoring. In these experiments, the particle configurations start from an initially disordered, low-packing-fraction state and under vertical vibrations evolve to a dense, highly ordered, nematic state in which the long ...
متن کاملVortices in vibrated granular rods.
We report the experimental observation of vortex patterns in vertically vibrated granular rods. Above a critical packing fraction, moving ordered domains of nearly vertical rods spontaneously form and coexist with horizontal rods. The domains of vertical rods coarsen in time to form large vortices. We investigate the conditions under which the vortices occur by varying the number of rods, vibra...
متن کاملAnisotropy-driven dynamics in vibrated granular rods.
The dynamics of a set of rods bouncing on a vertically vibrated plate is investigated using experiments, simulations, and theoretical analysis. The experiments and simulations are performed within an annulus to impose periodic boundary conditions. Rods tilted with respect to the vertical are observed to spontaneously develop a horizontal velocity depending on the acceleration of the plate. For ...

متن کاملModel of coarsening and vortex formation in vibrated granular rods.
Neicu et al. observed experimentally spontaneous formation of the long-range orientational order and large-scale vortices in a system of vibrated macroscopic rods. We propose a phenomenological theory of this phenomenon based on a coupled system of equations for local rods density and tilt. The density evolution is described by the modified Cahn-Hilliard equation, while the tilt is described by...
