Daniels Nonlinear Lab [NCSU Banner]

Dept of Physics

Overview

We conduct experiments on nonequilibrium/nonlinear systems including granular materials, gels, surfactants, and thin liquid films. Active areas of investigation include:

force chains in granular material
granular materials: phase transitions, statistical mechanics, sound propagation, and segregation
fracture in complex fluids
starburst droplet spreading on gel
model meteor impact
laboratory models of geophysical processes
surfactant-driven instabilities in thin liquid films
fluorescent visualization of spreading surfactant
