    Noise, coherent fluctuations, and the onset of order in an oscillated granular fluid

    by Daniel I. Goldman, J. B. Swift, Harry L. Swinney

    We study fluctuations in a vertically oscillated layer of grains below the critical acceleration for the onset of ordered standing waves. As onset is approached, transient disordered waves with a characteristic length scale emerge and increase in power and coherence. The scaling behavior and the shift in the onset of order agrees with the Swift-Hohenberg theory for convection in fluids. However, the noise in the granular system is four orders of magnitude larger than the thermal noise in a convecting fluid, making the effect of granular noise observable even 20% below the onset of long range order.

    Lattice Dynamics and Melting of a Nonequilibrium Pattern

    by Daniel I. Goldman, M. D. Shattuck, Sung Joon Moon, J. B. Swift, Harry L. Swinney

    We present a new description of nonequilibrium square patterns as a harmonically coupled crystal lattice. In a vertically oscillating granular layer, different transverse normal modes of the granular square-lattice pattern are observed for different driving frequencies ($f_d$) and accelerations. The amplitude of a mode can be further excited by either frequency modulation of $f_d$ or reduction of friction between the grains and the plate. When the mode amplitude becomes large, the lattice melts (disorders), in accord with the Lindemann criterion for melting in two-dimensions.

    We present a new description of nonequilibrium square patterns as a harmonically coupled crystal lattice. In a vertically oscillating granular layer, different transverse normal modes of the granular square-lattice pattern are observed for different driving frequencies (fd) and accelerations. The amplitude of a mode can be further excited by either frequency modulation of fd or reduction of friction between the grains and the plate. When the mode amplitude becomes large, the lattice melts (disorders), in accord with the Lindemann criterion for melting in two dimensions.
