An immersed granular bed can be destabilized using local thermal forcing and induced buoyant force. The destabilization is evidenced by the triggering and establishment of a dense granular plume. Varying the granular layer height, time series of the free layer surface are extracted, to compute the underlying volume of the granular layer. The initial interface deformation, the plume emission, the final craterization and the cave formation are observed, simulated using continuous media approach & analyzed.
The experimental apparatus consists of a rectangular PMMA box locally heated from below.
The granular material (polystyrene spheres) is initially placed into the box and slowly settles down.
