Non-equilibrium pattern formation and rheological responses in complex fluids

Non-equilibrium pattern formation processes are ubiquitous in nature, and are a truly cross-disciplinary phenomenon. We have discovered a novel pattern formation process occurring in confined granular-fluid systems, and our first results have now been acc epted for publication in Physical Review ...
