Granular segregation in dense systems: the role of statistical mechanics
and entropy [PDF]
Matthias Schröter, Karen E. DanielsGranular segregation is ubiquitous in industrial, geological or daily-life context, but there is still no unifying theoretical approach. In this review, we examine two examples of granular segregation -- shallow rapid flows and rotating drums -- which suggest that the dynamics of systems at intermediate and high density might be amenable to a statistical mechanics approach.View original: http://arxiv.org/abs/1206.4101
