We investigate the flow of spherical, bulk granular particles down an inclined plane mixed with small-sized spherical lubricant particles using discrete element method simulations. Predefined cohesive interaction is implemented between…
Topological phase transitions track changes in topological properties of a system and occur in real materials as well as quantum engineered systems, all of which differ greatly in terms of dimensionality, symmetries, interactions, and…
Dense suspensions of fine particles are significant in numerous biological, industrial, and natural phenomena. They also provide an ideal tool to develop statistical mechanics description for out-of-equilibrium systems. Predicting the bulk…
A central but controversial issue in free turbulent shear flows has been the universality (or otherwise) of their growth rates. We resolve this issue here in the special case of a temporal 2D mixing layer in a point vortex gas by extensive…
We studied interplay between kinetic roughening and phase ordering in 1+1 dimensional single-step solid-on-solid growth model with two kinds of particles and Ising-like interaction. Evolution of both geometrical and compositional properties…
We study roughness scaling of the outer surface and the internal porous structure of deposits generated with the three-dimensional bidisperse ballistic deposition (BBD), in which particles of two sizes are randomly deposited. Systematic…
We study universality classes and crossover behaviors in non-Abelian directed sandpile models, in terms of the metastable pattern analysis. The non-Abelian property induces spatially correlated metastable patterns, characterized by the…
When dealing with unsaturated wet granular materials, a fundamental question is: what is the effect of capillary cohesion on the bulk flow and yield behavior? We inwestigate the dense flow rheology of unsaturated granular materials through…
Soft elastic sheets resting on rigid surfaces develop wrinkles, rucks, and folds due to the combined influence of elasticity, gravity, and contact interactions. Despite their ubiquity, the principles governing their morphology and…
We review the currently known universality classes of continuous phase transitions to absorbing states in nonequilibrium systems and present results of simulations and arguments to show how the blockades introduced by different particle…
It is well known that the similar universal behavior of infinite-size (bulk) systems of different nature requires the same basic conditions: space dimensionality; number components of order parameter; the type (short- or long-range) of the…
A large class of evolutionary processes can be modeled by a rule which involves self-replication of some physical quantity with a non local rescaling. I show that a class of such models are exactly solvable -- in the discrete as well as…
A deposition process with particles having realistic intermediate stickiness is studied in 2+1 dimensions. At each stage of the deposition process, for any given configuration, a newly depositing particle gives rise to allowed set of…
In an evolutionary system in which the rules of mutation are local in nature, the number of possible outcomes after $m$ mutations is an exponential function of $m$ but with a rate that depends only on the set of rules and not the size of…
We perform extensive numerical simulations of different versions of the sandpile model. We find that previous claims about universality classes are unfounded, since the method previously employed to analyze the data suffered a systematic…
Based on an extension of the fiber bundle model we investigate numerically the motion of the crack front through a weak plane separating a soft and an infinitely stiff block. We find that there are two regimes. At large scales the motion is…
We study a system of diffusing-aggregating particles with deposition and evaporation of monomers. By combining theoretical and numerical methods, we establish a clearer understanding of the non-equilibrium phase transition known to occur in…
Motivated by a series of experiments that revealed a temperature dependence of the dynamic scaling regime of growing surfaces, we investigate theoretically how a nonequilibrium growth process reacts to a sudden change of system parameters.…
We consider a generalization of the FKPP equation for the evolution of the spatial density of a single-species population where all the terms are nonlocal. That is, the spatial extension of each process (growth, competition and diffusion)…
Hyperuniform particle arrangements are characterized by a local number variance that grows more slowly than the volume of the observation window. We generalize this concept to describe particle systems in which particles carry weights:…
