A horizontal Brazil-nut effect and its reverse.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transport effects in a monolayer consisting of a binary granular mixture, confined in a horizontally vibrating circular dish, are studied experimentally and compared with a reduced theoretical model. Depending on the ratio of the particles' material density and size, migration of the larger particles occurs either towards the boundary or to the center of the circular container. These directed motions show similarities to the Brazil-nut effect and its reverse form.

Reversing the Brazil-nut effect: competition between percolation and condensation.
We report on experiments on vertically shaken binary granular mixtures, which separate into their components due to the external excitation. This well-known phenomenon, where large particles rise to the top of the mixture, is called the Brazil-nut effect. Recent theoretical findings predict also a reverse Brazil-nut effect, where large particles sink to the bottom of the container. We choose sp...
متن کاملReverse Brazil nut problem: competition between percolation and condensation.
In the Brazil nut problem (BNP), hard spheres with larger diameters rise to the top. There are various explanations (percolation, reorganization, convection), but a broad understanding or control of this effect is by no means achieved. A theory is presented for the crossover from BNP to the reverse Brazil nut problem based on a competition between the percolation effect and the condensation of ...

Methods of seed germination and suitable substrates for seedling growth of gurguéia nut (Dipteryx lacunifera) were studied in the present work. The following methods of seed germination i.e. I and II) Room temperature water soak for 24 and 48 hours; III, IV, V and VI) hot water soak, for 5, 10, 15 and 20 minutes, respectively; and VII) mechanical scarification, were studied. The studied substra...
متن کاملCompetition of Brazil nut effect, buoyancy, and inelasticity induced segregation in a granular mixture
It has been recently reported that a granular mixture in which grains differ in their restitution coefficients presents segregation: the more inelastic particles sink to the bottom. When other segregation mechanisms as buoyancy and the Brazil nut effect are present, the inelasticity induced segregation can compete with them. First, a detailed analysis, based on numerical simulations of two dime...
متن کاملInfluence of friction on granular segregation.
Vertical shaking of a mixture of small and large beads can lead to segregation where the large beads either accumulate at the top of the sample, the so-called Brazil nut effect (BNE), or at the bottom, the reverse Brazil nut effect (RBNE). Here we demonstrate experimentally a sharp transition from the RBNE to the BNE when the particle coefficient of friction increases due to aging of the partic...
