We present our analysis on microrheology of a bench-scale pulsed fluidized bed, which represents a weakly confined system. Nonlinear gas-particle and particle-particle interactions resulting from pulsed flow are associated with harmonic and subharmonic modes. While periodic structured bubble patterns are observed at the mesoscale, particle-scale measurements reveal anomalous diffusion in the driven granular medium. We use single-particle tracks to analyze ergodicity and ageing properties at two…

Collective topological active particles: Non-ergodic superdiffusion and ageing in complex environments

Optical flow tracking velocimetry of near-field explosions

To better understand the complex dynamics and physics associated with the rapid expansion of the detonation product fireball following an explosion, it is imperative to have a full description of its…

Time-averaging and emerging nonergodicity upon resetting of fractional Brownian motion and heterogeneous diffusion processes

It is found that the resetting dynamics of originally ergodic FBM for superdiffusive choices of the Hurst exponent develops distinct disparities in the scaling behavior and magnitudes of the MSDs and mean TAMSDs, indicating so-called weak ergodicity breaking (WEB).

Pattern formation in pulsed gas-solid fluidized beds – The role of granular solid mechanics

Chaos suppression in gas-solid fluidization.

Chaos suppression resulting from an opposing oscillatory flow in gas-solid fluidization is examined, finding that the degree of chaotic behavior can be substantially suppressed by the presence of an opposing, oscillatory secondary flow.

Observation of anomalous diffusion and Lévy flights in a two-dimensional rotating flow.

Chaotic transport in a laminar fluid flow in a rotating annulus is studied experimentally by tracking large numbers of tracer particles for long times by studying the behaviour of Levy flights and anomalous diffusion.

Chaos in wavy-stratified fluid-fluid flow.

It is demonstrated that this simple 1-D FFM captures the essential chaotic features of the interface dynamics, adding to a growing body of work indicating that a TFM with appropriate short wavelength physics is well-behaved and chaotic beyond the KHI.

Universal stability curve for pattern formation in pulsed gas-solid fluidized beds of sandlike particles

A granular layer can form regular patterns, such as squares, stripes, and hexagons, when it is fluidized with a pulsating gas flow. These structures are reminiscent of the well-known patterns found…

Enhanced particle mixing in pulsed fluidized beds and the effect of internals

Pulsation-assisted fluidization was employed in a square fluidized bed to enhance mixing properties. The gas-phase pulsation frequency was varied between 0.5 and 5.0 Hz. The fluidized bed…

The Clustering Instability in Rapid Granular and Gas-Solid Flows

This review focuses on three key areas: (a) state-of-the-art mathematical tools used to study clustering, with an emphasis on kinetic theory–based continuum models, which are critical to the prediction of the larger systems found in nature and industry, and (b) mechanisms that give rise to clustering.

Using a proper orthogonal decomposition to elucidate features in granular flows

We apply proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) technique to analyze granular rheology in a laboratory-scale pulsed-fluidized bed. POD allows us to describe the inherent dynamics and energy budget in…

Abstract Non-Gaussian properties (cumulants, high energy tails) of the single particle velocity distribution for homogeneous granular fluids of inelastic hard spheres or disks are studied, based on…

Bifurcation analysis of bubble dynamics in fluidized beds.

Using methods from time-series analysis, a low-dimensional, agent-based bubble model is able to approximate nonlinear models that allow for long-term predictions and the possibility of developing control algorithms.
