The flow field of glass beads around a fixed obstacle — •Matthias Raithel1, Christoph Krülle2, and Ingo Rehberg1 — 1Experimentalphysik V, Universität Bayreuth, D-95440 Bayreuth, Germany — 2Maschinenbau und Mechatronik, Hochschule Karlsruhe - Technik und Wirtschaft, D-76133 Karlsruhe,Germany
In this experiment a dish filled with glass beads is shaken horizontally, so every point on that dish moves on a circular path. Controlled by the filling fraction, the oscillation frequency and amplitude, the system shows phase transitions [1] and the change from reptation to rotation [2]. By inserting an intruder the system becomes more complex. In the case of a freely moving intruder segregation occurs. The flow field around a fixed obstacle is examined in order to understand that segregation.
