Particle imaging velocimetry study of a horizontally shaken granular bed — •Olaf Br"okmann and Achim Kittel — Energy and Semiconductor Research Group, Department of Physics, University of Oldenburg

The study of shaken granular matter has become very popular in recent years. Surprisingly most of these studies only investigate the behavior of vertical shaken particles. Thinking about transportation of grain e.g. horizontal shaking has a great practical importance and therefore has to be more investigated. Using particle image velocimetry (PIV) we studied the velocity fields of horizontal shaken granular matter. The experiments include a variation of the shaking frequency, shaking amplitude and the size of the investigated particles.
