Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 234301 (2002) [4 pages]Ordered Clusters and Dynamical States of Particles in a Vibrated Fluid
Greg A. Voth1, B. Bigger1, M. R. Buckley1, W. Losert1 *, M. P. Brenner2, H. A. Stone2, and J. P. Gollub1,3 Received 4 February 2002; published 20 May 2002 Fluid-mediated interactions between particles in a vibrating fluid lead to both long range attraction and short range repulsion. The resulting patterns include hexagonally ordered microcrystallites, time-periodic structures, and chaotic fluctuating patterns with complex dynamics. A model based on streaming flow gives a good quantitative account of the attractive part of the interaction. ©2002 The American Physical Society
