AI Article Synopsis
- When shaking a container with loose materials, the way things move can change based on how packed the materials are.
- At a medium level of packing, a thicker part of the materials moves around the inside of the container in a clockwise way while the shaking itself is going the other way.
- If the materials are packed even tighter, they all start to spin together in the same direction, but there’s a layer that moves differently between the center and the edge.
Article Abstract
A two-dimensional granular packing under horizontally circular shaking exhibits various collective motion modes where nonuniform density distribution and correlated dynamics are present. For intermediate packing density and oscillation amplitude, a condensed phase travels around the container's side wall in the clockwise direction, while the oscillation itself is set anticlockwise. Further increasing the packing density towards that of hexagonal packing, the whole packing rotates collectively in the clockwise direction. The core of the packing rotates as a solid and is separated from the boundary by a fluid-like layer. Both motion modes are associated with the asymmetric motion of particles close to the side wall in one oscillation cycle, where the dependence of particle velocity on the local density plays a key role.
