Vertical ordering of rods under vertical vibration

Thomas Liebling, Lionel Pournin, Marco Ramaioli

Granular media composed of elongated particles rearrange and order vertically upon vertical vibration. We perform pseudo-two-dimensional discrete element model simulations and show that this phenomenon takes place also with no help from vertical walls. We ...

Concentration profiles of particles settling in the neutral and stratified atmospheric boundary layer

Marc Parlange, Charles Vivant Ignacio Meneveau

An expression for the vertical equilibrium concentration profile of heavy particles, including the effects of canopy on the eddy diffusivity as well as corrections for atmospheric stability, is proposed. This expression is validated against measurements of ...

Particle creation from non-topological solitons

Stephen Clark

Non topological solitons, Q balls can arise in many particle theories with U(1) global symmetries. As was shown by Cohen et al. [2], if the corresponding scalar field couples to massless fermions, large Q-balls are unstable and evaporate, producing a fermi ...

Cargese lectures on extra-dimensions

Riccardo Rattazzi

I give a pedagogical introduction to the concepts and the tools that are necessary to study particle physics models in higher dimensions. I then give a more detailed presentation of warped compactifications and discuss their possible relevance to the hiera ...

The study of incommensurate structures as a probe to reveal atomic interactions in crystals

Gervais Chapuis, Alla Arakcheeva

The structure of aperiodic crystals which includes incommensurate, quasi- and composite crystals is usually described in spaces of higher dimension, the so called superspace. The main advantage of the superspace formalism is that an aperiodic structure in ...

Geant4—a simulation toolkit

Sebastiana Gianì

Geant4 is a toolkit for simulating the passage of particles through matter. It includes a complete range of functionality including tracking, geometry, physics models and hits. The physics processes offered cover a comprehensive range, including electromag ...

Thermo-mechanical properties of hyperbranched polymer modified epoxies

The thermo-mechanical properties of hyperbranched polymer-epoxy blends and their dependence on hyperbranched polymer shell chemistry were investigated. Hyperbranched polymers were shown to be able to increase resin toughness by inducing both a heterogeneou ...

Inverse grading in granular flow

The current work concerns with the parametrical dependencies of inverse grading in granular flows from material properties of individual particles involved in the flow. The investigations were initiated and motivated by the search for an explanation of the ...

The effects of calcium phosphate cement particles on osteoblast functions

Dominique Pioletti, Pascale Van Landuyt

Calcium phosphate cements (CPC) are increasingly used in the orthopedic field. This kind of cement has potential applications in bone defect replacements, osteosynthetic screw reinforcements or drug delivery. In vivo studies have demonstrated a good osteoi ...
