Bulk motion of granular matter in an agitated cylindrical bed.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Experimental results are reported for the bulk motion induced in a bed of granular matter contained in a cylindrical pan with a flat bottom subjected to simultaneous vertical and horizontal vibrations. The motion in space of the moving pan is quantified. A number of distinct bulk dynamical modes are observed in which the particle bed adopts different shapes and motions. At the lowest pan excitation frequency omega , the bed forms a "heap," and rotates about the cylinder axis. As omega is increased, a more complex "toroidal" mode appears in which the bed takes the shape of a torus; in this mode, circulation occurs both about the cylinder axis, and also radially, with particles moving from the outer edge of the pan to the center on the top surface of the bed, and back to the outer edge along the pan bottom. At the highest omega , surface modulations ("surface waves" and "sectors") of the toroidal mode occur. The origin of this family of behavior in terms of the pan motion is discussed.

Sinking of light intruders in a shaken granular bed.
We present an experimental study of the displacement of a light intruder immersed in a vibrated granular bed. Using high speed video we resolve the motion, during one cycle of oscillation, of a cylindrical object inside a Plexiglas box partially filled with grains. We report experimental evidence that, in the absence of convection, at least two forces are behind the intruder's motion: an air dr...
متن کاملGranular State Effects on Wave Propagation
Sound and pressure wave propagation in a granular material is of interest not only for its intrinsic and practical value, but also because it provides a non-intrusive means of probing the state of a granular material. By examining wave speeds and attenuation, insight can be gained into the nature of the contacts between the particles. In the present paper, wave speeds and attenuation rates are ...
متن کاملPeriod tripling causes rotating spirals in agitated wet granular layers.
Pattern formation of a thin layer of vertically agitated wet granular matter is investigated experimentally. Rotating spirals with three arms, which correspond to the kinks between regions with different colliding phases, are the dominating pattern. This preferred number of arms corresponds to period tripling of the agitated granular layer, unlike predominantly subharmonic Faraday crispations i...
متن کاملOnset and cessation of motion in hydrodynamically sheared granular beds.
We performed molecular dynamics simulations of granular beds driven by a model hydrodynamic shear flow to elucidate general grain-scale mechanisms that determine the onset and cessation of sediment transport. By varying the Shields number (the nondimensional shear stress at the top of the bed) and particle Reynolds number (the ratio of particle inertia to viscous damping), we explore how variat...
متن کاملFrictional dependence of shallow-granular flows from discrete particle simulations.
A shallow-layer model for granular flows down inclines is completed with a closure relation for the macroscopic bed friction obtained from micro-scale, discrete particle simulations of steady flows over geometrically rough bases with contact friction. Microscopic friction can be different between bulk particles and with particles at the base, where the latter is systematically varied. When exte...
