produce density-dependent segregation of large objects, through a buoyancy force. A criterion for the onset of fluidization …

We present a hydrodynamic theoretical model for “Brazil nut” size segregation in granular materials. We give analytical … propose a new mechanism for this particle size-segregation due to buoyant forces caused by density variations which come from …

We present a numerical study of the flow segregation problem in bidimensional piles. To simulate the pile formation, we … and the size ratio between them. The different segregation patterns arising after the pile is finished are studied by … analyzing the spatial distribution of the grains. Two different segregation indices are defined and evaluated over the piles …

Assuming the aggregates of a single chiral component as a pure phase, chiral segregation can be considered as a … segregation can be considered as phase equilibrium. The standard mechanism to understand phase equilibrium considers the complete … effect that repulsions and attractions have on chiral segregation we study a two-dimensional model, bent hard needles model …

We study the statistical mechanical conditions under which segregation of racemic mixtures of chiral molecules is … pure and racemic systems. We find that for this simple model segregation is generally possible in the very high density …
