We love interactions, in particular with particles
This is the kind of work that publishing open data makes possible – an entirely new interpretation of strain field observations in sheared granular materials.

The result of an MSc thesis and lots of hard work from Christian – making noisy ecosystem cluster into different subgroups is possible, but does require some minimal ingredients, it seems.

Visiting Strasbourg, connecting with group alumni and giving a talk for a non-empty room! Thanks to Wiebke Drenckhan for hosting.
Can rheology say something about the retention time of digesta? It seems so – but more work is needed to better characterize the samples and improve statistics.

Lubricating interfaces with “third bodies” is common; here we do model studies to investigate how such lubricating suspensions introduce new lubrication regimes.

The national Dutch Physics Conference. Our artwork competed for best scientific image. We were among the last six, but didn’t get a prize.
How to combine bulk solids testing with imaging? Zohreh and team wrote a review article on the topic in the famous KONA journal.

Not all granular samples are simple – often mixtures of soft and hard particles are present. The mixture flow behavior can be quite different, as it turns out.

Capillary interactions change the flow of granular materials – of course. How this works for hydrogel spheres and partially wetted systems has been clarified further in this work.
