View article: Self-Organized Pattern Formation in Geological Soft Matter
Self-Organized Pattern Formation in Geological Soft Matter Open
Geological materials are often seen as the antithesis of soft; rocks are hard. However, during the formation of minerals and rocks, all the systems we shall discuss, indeed geological materials in general, pass through a stage where they a…

THE FABRICATION AND CHARACTERISATION OF 0-3 COMPOSITES Open
Piezoelectric ceramic -polymer composites have been the subject of a considerable research effort over recent years [1,2,3].1-3 composites in which the ceramic rods are aligned within a polymer matrix are of interest for both medical and s…

Gunwale bobbing Open
It has been shown experimentally that small droplets, bouncing on a vibrated\nliquid bath, can "walk" across the surface due to their interaction with their\nown wave-field. Gunwale bobbing is a life-size instance of this phenomena in\nwhi…

Pattern of inclusions inside rippled icicles Open
Icicles that have grown from slightly impure water develop ripples around their circumference. The ripples have a near-universal wavelength and are thought to be the result of a morphological instability. Using laboratory-grown icicles and…

Fracture patterns in viscoplastic gravity currents Open
Constant-flux gravity currents of viscoplastic fluid remain axisymmetric when extruded onto a dry horizontal plane. However, if the plane is coated with a shallow layer of water, the current suffers a dramatic non-axisymmetric instability …

Experiments on the dynamic wetting of growing icicles Open
The distinctive shape of an icicle is the outcome of a highly non-equilibrium process involving heat and mass transport in the presence of fluid flowing over an evolving topography. It has previously been shown that the ripple patterns wit…

X-ray tomography data of columnar joints in starch Open
Columnar jointing is best-known from formations in cooled lava, such as the Giant's Causeway, Devil's Postpile, or Fingal's Cave. However, these crack patterns also arise in other systems, most notably in dried starch. The data published h…
