Phase separation and coarsening in electrostatically driven granular media.
A continuum model for the phase separation and coarsening in electrostatically driven granular media is formulated in terms of a Ginzburg-Landau equation subject to conservation of the total number of grains. In the regime of well-developed clusters, the continuum model is used to derive "sharp-interface" equations that govern the dynamics of the interphase boundary. The model captures the esse...
متن کاملElectrostatically driven granular media: phase transitions and coarsening
We report the experimental and theoretical study of electrostatically driven granular material. We show that the charged granular medium undergoes a hysteretic phase transition from the immobile condensed state (granular solid) to a fluidized dilated state (granular gas) with a changing applied electric field. In addition we observe a spontaneous precipitation of dense clusters from the gas pha...
متن کاملDynamic self-assembly and patterns in electrostatically driven granular media.
We show that granular media, consisting of metallic microparticles immersed in a poorly conducting liquid in a strong dc electric field, self-assemble into a rich variety of novel phases. These phases include static precipitates: honeycombs and Wigner crystals; and novel dynamic condensates: toroidal vortices and pulsating rings. The observed structures are explained by the interplay between ch...
متن کاملGranular coarsening: phase space and evolution analogies.
Various aspects of axial banding of size-varying bidisperse granular mixtures in cylindrical tumblers have been documented repeatedly over a decade or so, but the dependence of surface band formation on the relative concentration of particles and rotation rate has not been thoroughly examined. Coarsening patterns analogous to nucleation and spinodal decomposition occur as the relative concentra...
متن کاملGranular Coarsening
The phenomenon of coarsening has been the topic of intensive study, chiefly in material science, where droplets coalesce1,2 or successive layers of material deposited on a substrate form complex morpholgies3,4. These problems are of technological interest because properties of composite materials such as polymer blends and alloys depend on the size and structure of included droplets5,6; likewis...
