Influence of broken rotational symmetry on granular segregation in horizontally vibrated systems — •Axel Feltrup1, Ingo Rehberg1, and Christof Krülle2 — 1Experimentalphysik V, Universität Bayreuth, D-95440 Bayreuth, Germany — 2Maschinenbau und Mechatronik, Hochschule Karlsruhe - Technik und Wirtschaft, D-76133 Karlsruhe, Germany
A dish filled with glass beads is excited by a circular horizontal vibration. When inserting an intruder of different size or density, we can observe segregation of the intruder. Previous experiments were made in a circular dish[1,2]. By using non-circular dishes of different geometries we investigate the influence of broken rotational symmetry on the flow of the glass beads and the intruder.
