X Abstract

We propose a generalisation of the cellular automaton model introduced recently by Lai, Jia and Chan [Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 4994 (1997)] for simulating friction induced segregation in a rotating drum. Our model implements the spherical geometry of the drum explicitly. Therefore it can be used to investigate geometrical properties of the segregation phenomenon in contrast to the original version of the model. Our model reproduces the spontaneous stratification observed recently in experiments for more than half filled drums, as well as the transition to non-stratified segregation for higher rotation speeds. It predicts that stratification can also occur, if the drum is less than half filled.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
