Nonequilibrium Patterns in Granular Mixing and Segregation
DOI: 10.1063/1.883018
For over 5000 years, granular mixing has been a topic of acutely practical concern. Paleolithic cave painters mixed their colors from blends of ochre and animal products; ancient Chinese and Egyptians blended inks and cosmetics from pork soot, crushed pearls, and compounds of lead; Aztec priests prepared drugs from concoctions of herbs and roots; and Michelangelo pigmented the Sistine chapel frescoes with blends including chalk, charcoal, and lead.
