Pattern Formation in Vertically Vibrated Granular Media
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work concerns pattern formation in vertically driven granular media. We generalize the work of Shankar C. Vankataramani and Edward Ott to test notions about patterns found in vertically driven granular media. A generalization of this model is present along with some of the preliminary results.

Localized States in a Model of Pattern Formation in a Vertically Vibrated Layer
We consider a novel asymptotic limit of model equations proposed to describe the formation of localised states in a vertically vibrated layer of granular material or viscoelastic fluid. In physical terms, the asymptotic limit is motivated by experimental observations that localised states (‘oscillons’) arise when regions of weak excitation are nevertheless able to expel material rapidly enough ...
متن کاملPhase boundaries in vertically vibrated granular materials
A boundary structure is observed in beds of vertically vibrated granular materials separating regions of opposite phase. This structure is investigated and it is identified as giving rise to both a global kink and hexagonal patterns. A global phase diagram of surface patterns on a vibrated bed is presented. c © 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. In recent years, there has been a dramatic s...
متن کاملLocalized and Cellular Patterns in a Vibrated Granular Layer
We propose a phenomenological model for pattern formation in a vertically vibrated layer of granular material. This model exhibits a variety of stable cellular patterns, including standing rolls and squares as well as localized objects (oscillons and worms), similar to recent experimental observations [Umbanhowar, Melo, and Swinney, Nature (London) 382, 793 (1996)]. The model is an amplitude eq...
متن کاملGranular Hydrodynamics and Pattern Formation in Vertically Oscillated Granular Disks Layers
A numerical hydrodynamic model of a vibrated granular bed in 2D is elaborated based on a highly accurate Shock Capturing scheme applied to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations for granular flow. The hydrodynamic simulation of granular flows is numerically difficult, particularly in systems where dilute and dense regions occur at the same time and interact with each other. As an example of s...
متن کامل5 O ct 1 99 8 Collective Effects in the Horizontal Transport of Vertically Vibrated Granular Layers
Motivated by recent advances in the investigation of fluctuation-driven ratchets and flows in excited granular media, we have carried out experimental and simulational studies to explore the horizontal transport of granular particles in a vertically vibrated system whose base has a sawtooth-shaped profile. The resulting material flow exhibits novel collective behavior, both as a function of the...
