Dynamical Spreading and Memory Retention of Particle Suspensions under Power Law Potential
Author(s): Ido Fanto, Yuval Rosenblum, Ori Harel, Matan Yah Ben Zion, and Naomi Oppenheimer
We study the overdamped dynamic spreading of a suspension of particles under a repulsive power law potential. We predict that the suspension spreads in a self-similar form, with its radius growing in time with a power independent of the dimension. We confirm this prediction experimentally using magn… [Phys.
