Instabilities and Waves in Sheared Granular Materials

项目名称：T. Shinbrot and B. glasser题目：剪切颗粒材料的不稳定性和波动摘要该项目旨在研究沿倾斜表面流下的两股颗粒材料流之间界面的剪切不稳定性。不稳定的模式产生各种混合特性，这些特性在包括制药和食品加工在内的许多应用中都很有趣。pi将通过基于MD和元胞自动机模拟的实验和计算方法来研究这个问题。

GlasserTitle: Instabilities and Waves in Sheared Granular MaterialsABSTRACTThe project is to investigate the shear instabilities at the interface between two streams of granular materials flowing down an inclined surface. The modes of instability produce various mixing characteristics which are of interest in many applications including pharmaceutical and food processing. The PIs will investigate this problem through experimental and computational methods based on MD and cellular automata simulations.
