Some general dynamical properties of models for compaction of granular media based on master equations are analyzed. In particular, a one-dimensional lattice model with short-ranged dynamical constraints is considered. The stationary state is consistent with Edwards theory of powders. The system is submitted to processes in which the tapping strength is monotonically increased and decreased. In such processes the behavior of the model resembles the reversible-irreversible branches which have been recently obaserved in experiments. This behavior is understood in terms of the general dynamical properties of the model, and related to the hysteresis cycles exhibited by structural glasses in thermal cycles. The existence of a normal solution, i.e., a solution of the master equation which is monotonically approached by all the other solutions, plays a fundamental role in the understanding of the hysteresis effects.

A vertically shaken granular medium hosts a blade rotating around a fixed vertical axis, which acts as a mesorheological probe. At high densities, independently from the shaking intensity, the blades dynamics show strong caging effects, marked by tra nsient sub-diffusion and a maximum in the velocity power density spectrum (vpds), at a resonant frequency $sim 10$ Hz. Interpreting the data through a diffusing harmonic cage model allows us to retrieve the elastic constant of the granular medium and its collective diffusion coefficient. For high frequencies $f$, a tail $sim 1/f$ in the vpds reveals non-trivial correlations in the intra-cage micro-dynamics. At very long times (larger than $10$ s), a super-diffusive behavior emerges, ballistic in the most extreme cases. Consistently, the distribution of slow velocity inversion times $tau$ displays a power-law decay, likely due to persistent collective fluctuations of the host medium.
We study a simple model of periodic contraction and extension of large intruders in a granular bed to understand the mechanism for swimming in an otherwise solid media. Using an event-driven simulation, we find optimal conditions that idealized swimm ers must use to critically fluidize a sand bed so that it is rigid enough to support a load when needed, but fluid enough to permit motion with minimal resistance. Swimmers - or other intruders - that agitate the bed too rapidly produce large voids that prevent traction from being achieved, while swimmers that move too slowly cannot travel before the bed re-solidifies around them i.e., the swimmers locally probe the fundamental time-scale in a granular packing.
A laser facility based on a linear image sensor with a sampling period of 100microseconds allows to investigate the dissipative dynamics of a vibrated granular matter under gravity. The laser reveals the vertical movement of an individual Zirconia-Yt ria stabilized 2mm ball at the surface of a weakly excited 3D granular matter bed. The stochastic realizations are measured from the top of the container. Then, power spectra measurements reveal the different cooperative dynamics of the fluidized gap. We also carried out measurements for one steel ball and many balls in 1D and 3D systems. We fit the measured different regimes with generalized Langevin pictures. We introduce a fractional temporal operator to characterize the ensemble of dissipative particles which cannot be represented by a single Langevin particle in a complex fluid.
The granular Leidenfrost effect (B. Meerson et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. {bf 91}, 024301 (2003), P. Eshuis et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. {bf 95}, 258001 (2005)) is the levitation of a mass of granular matter when a wall below the grains is vibrated giving rise to a hot granular gas below the cluster. We find by simulation that for a range of parameters the system is bistable: the levitated cluster can occasionally break and give rise to two clusters and a hot granular gas above and below. We use techniques from the theory of rare events to compute the mean transition time for breaking to occur. This requires the introduction of a two-component reaction coordinate.
We study experimentally the particle velocity fluctuations in an electrostatically driven dilute granular gas. The experimentally obtained velocity distribution functions have strong deviations from Maxwellian form in a wide range of parameters. We h ave found that the tails of the distribution functions are consistent with a stretched exponential law with typical exponents of the order 3/2. Molecular dynamic simulations shows qualitative agreement with experimental data. Our results suggest that this non-Gaussian behavior is typical for most inelastic gases with both short and long range interactions.
