Ice as a granular material (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Turnbull, B., Swift, M., & Hill, R. (2016). Ice as a granular material.

Ice is a unique material, fundamental to vital processes on earth, in the atmosphere [1] and as planets and comets form [2]. In this work, we introduce two experiments investigating ice as a granular material, to provide snippets of insight into thos... Read More about Ice as a granular material.

The minimization of mechanical work in vibrated granular matter (2016)
Journal Article
Clewett, J. P., Wade, J., Bowley, R., Herminghaus, S., Swift, M. R., & Mazza, M. G. (in press). The minimization of mechanical work in vibrated granular matter. Scientific Reports, 6, Article 28726. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep28726

Experiments and computer simulations are carried out to investigate phase separation in a granular gas under vibration. The densities of the dilute and the dense phase are found to follow a lever rule and obey an equation of state. Here we show that...
