      Stability of a tilted granular monolayer: How many spheres can we pick before the collapse (2024) 

      Rojas, Eduardo; Alarcón, Héctor; Salinas, Vicente; Castillo, Gustavo; Gutiérrez, Pablo (American Physical Society, 2023)
      The triggering of avalanches is investigated using discrete element simulations for a process of random extraction of spheres. A monolayer, formed by identical spheres in a hexagonal configuration, is placed on a tilted ...

      Swirling Fluid Reduces the Bounce of Partially Filled Containers (2024) 

      Andrade, Klebbert; Catalán, Javiera; Marín, Juan F.; Salinas, Vicente; Castillo, Gustavo; Gordillo, Leonardo; Gutiérrez, Pablo (American Physical Society, 2023)
      Certain spatial distributions of water inside partially filled containers can significantly reduce the bounce of the container. In experiments with containers filled to a volume fraction φ, we show that rotation offers ...
