Stripes instability of an oscillating non-Brownian iso-dense suspension of spheres

Abstract: We analyze experimentally the behavior of a non-Brownian, iso-dense suspension of spheres submitted to periodic square wave oscillations of the flow in a Hele-Shaw cell of gap H. We do observe an instability of the initially homogeneous concentration in form of concentration variation stripes transverse to the flow. The wavelength of these regular spatial structures scales roughly as the gap of the cell and is independent of the particle concentration and of the period of oscillation. This instability requires… Show more

“…This is specially relevant for oscillatory flows, where a succession of reversals happen. Oscillatory flows of suspensions in Hele-Shaw cells has been shown to be unstable at low Reynolds numbers, with a modulation of the particle volume fraction along the flow direction visible as stripes [9]. Recently, we studied the motion of the particles during the onset of this instability using experiments with a model system composed of non-Brownian spherical particles and a Newtonian solution [10].…”

“…Formation of elongated patterns is ubiquitously observed in a wide variety of horizontally driven granular systems. Examples range from ripples in sandy deserts and along many coasts to striped patterns in colloids, suspensions, dry granular media, and nanoparticle composites [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Under horizontal shaking or oscillatory excitation, various types of instabilities may arise in dry granular media and suspensions.…”

“…Under horizontal shaking or oscillatory excitation, various types of instabilities may arise in dry granular media and suspensions. This can lead to, e.g., separation of different species [13], shear-induced segregation [14,15] in environments with a nonuniformly distributed shear strain [16,17], or, more frequently, stripe formation [8][9][10][11][12][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”
