Resumen
We study the role of small-scale perturbations in the onset of avalanches in a rotating drum in the stick-slip regime. By vibrating the system along the axis of rotation with an amplitude orders of magnitude smaller than the particles' diameter, we found that the order parameter that properly describes the system is the kinetic energy. We also show that, for high enough frequencies, the onset of the avalanche is determined by the amplitude of the oscillation, contrary to previous studies that showed that either acceleration or velocity was the governing parameter. Finally, we present a theoretical model that explains the transition between the continuous and discrete avalanche regimes as a supercritical Hopf bifurcation.

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 ... -

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 ... -
