A two-dimensional rough surface: Experiments on a pile of rice
نویسنده
چکیده
Dynamical roughening of interfaces has received much attention in recent years. However, experiments have been restricted to one dimensional (1d) systems. Moreover, theoretical studies of the two dimensional (2d) case have been highly inconclusive. Here we introduce an experimental 2d system, with which the theories can be tested. As is shown, the surface of a 2d pile of rice shows roughening behaviour in both space and time, with a roughness exponent α2d = 0.39(3) and a growth exponent β2d = 0.27(3).

Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of Moisture Dynamics in Intermittent Drying of Rough Rice
Intermittent drying is a satisfactory technique for drying of heat sensitive grains especially rough rice. This method consists of two separate stages applied intermittently: drying and tempering. In this work, intermittent drying of rough rice is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. In order to characterize this process; a multi-scale model consisting of macroscopic and microsco...
متن کاملEstimation of Lift Force on a Rough Vertical Pile of Platform to Random Sea Waves
Similar to random sea waves, forces on the offshore structures due to waves are random. These forces can be mainly divided into two components, namely, inline forces and transverse or lift forces. The random nature of lift forces is more complicated than that of inline forces and both should be combined for design purposes. In the present paper, two different approaches have been used to determ...

متن کاملWaiting-time distribution between avalanches and 1/f-noise: Experiments on a three dimensional pile of rice
The first-return times in the dynamics of a three dimensional pile of rice are measured. Furthermore, the 1/f exponent of the avalanche dynamics is determined. These quantities taken together, are used to check general scaling relations for systems with extremal dynamics exhibiting self-organized criticality. We find that τfirst = 1 + a. Furthermore, we discuss the relation of the 1/f a exponen...
متن کاملThe E-pile+smcg for Scattering from an Object below 2d Soil Rough Surface
A rigorous fast numerical method called E-PILE+SMCG is introduced and then used in a Monte Carlo study of scattering from a three dimensional perfectly electrical conductor (PEC) object below lossy soil rough surface. This method is the three dimensional (3D) extendability of PILE (Propagation-Inside-Layer Expansion) method which is proposed for two dimensional (2D) scattering problem. The roug...
