Abstract

The dynamics of a granular medium in a cavity filled with incompressible viscous fluid under harmonic vertical vibration are studied experimentally. The sand is fluidized in a relatively thin sublayer of the granular layer near the interface between the media. The fluidization is of the threshold type and is accompanied by intense parametric oscillations of the interface. For viscous fluids, the transition of the sand from a quasi-solid to a fluidized state and the reverse transition associated with a decrease in the oscillation rate occur with hysteresis. The nondimensional governing parameters determining the sand dynamics are established. The analysis is focused on the case of low nondimensional frequencies.
