Two large intruders in granular media experience a long-range repulsive force due to fluctuation-induced pressure. This Casimir-like effect arises from geometrically confined hydrodynamic fluctuations between the particles.

Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Complex Systems
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Granular media exhibit complex behaviors under external forces.
  • Interactions between particles in granular systems are crucial for understanding macroscopic properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To numerically investigate the interaction forces between large intruders in driven noncohesive granular media.
  • To identify and explain the mechanism behind long-range forces observed between intruders.

Main Methods:

  • Numerical simulations of driven noncohesive granular media.
  • Analysis of forces acting on large intruder particles.
  • Estimation of forces using Fourier mode computation.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Two large intruders experience both short-range depletion and long-range repulsive forces.
  • The long-range force is fluctuation-induced, similar to the Casimir effect.
  • Hydrodynamic fluctuations confined between intruders create an unbalanced renormalized pressure.

Conclusions:

  • A Casimir-like effect explains the long-range repulsion between intruders in granular media.
  • The model based on Fourier modes qualitatively agrees with simulation results.
  • Understanding these forces is key for granular material applications.
