Self-organized criticality in sheared suspensions.
Recent studies reveal that suspensions of neutrally buoyant non-brownian particles driven by slow periodic shear can undergo a dynamical phase transition between a fluctuating irreversible steady state and an absorbing reversible state. Using a computer model, we show that such systems exhibit self-organized criticality when a finite particle sedimentation velocity v(s) is introduced. Under per...
متن کاملSelf-diffusion in sheared suspensions
Self-diffusion in a suspension of spherical particles in steady linear shear flow is investigated by following the time evolution of the correlation of number density fluctuations. Expressions are presented for the evaluation of the self-diffusivity in a suspension which is either macroscopically quiescent or in linear flow at arbitrary Peclet number Pe = j a 2 / 2 D , where j i s the shear rat...
متن کاملSelf-Organized Criticality
The causes and possible relations between the abundance of fractal structures and 1/f signals found in nature have puzzled scientists for years. Based on observations of computer simulations of the cellular automata sandpile model, the term, self-organized criticality (SOC) was invented by theoretical physicists Bak and coworkers (1987) and was used to explain a universal dynamic organizing pro...
متن کاملSelf-organized criticality
We study the concept of the self-organized criticality (SOC) and its application to a wide range of scientific problems with very different backgrounds. In particular, we discuss the Bak-TangWiesenfeld sandpile model which displays SOC behavior and by computing the critical exponent for the two-dimensional model we find the agreement with the known result. Finally, we provide a new example of Z...
متن کاملSelf-Organized Criticality
The concept of self-organized criticality (SOC) has been evoked by Bak, Tang and Wiesenfeld (BTW) as a possible unifying framework to describe a vast class of dynamically driven systems which evolve spontaneously toward a critical stationary state with no characteristic time or length scale. In this essay we will discuss SOC models that have been studied and to what extent they are related to r...
