S Martiniani, M Casiulis - Papers in Physics, 2023 - papersinphysics.org
In statistical mechanics, measuring the number of available states and their probabilities,
and thus the system's entropy, enables the prediction of the macroscopic properties of a …

Segregation and Fingering Instability in Granular Media

L Meng - 2022 - research-collection.ethz.ch
Granular systems are ubiquitous in both industry and nature, yet we still know comparatively
little of the physics governing their dynamics. Owing to this lack of insight, there is still no …
