It is shown analytically and verified numerically that the effect of overtaking is more prominent in shorter lengthscales, and also that the two-time elongation correlation exhibits ageing behavior due to overtaking.

Since this “cage effect” emerges from many-body dynamics involving spatiotemporally correlated motions, the slow diffusion should be understood not simply as a one-body problem but as a part of collective dynamics, described in terms of space–time correlations. Such collective dynamics are illustrated here by calculations of the two-particle displacement correlation in a system of repulsive Brownian particles confined in a (quasi-)one-dimensional channel, whose subdiffusive behavior is known as the single-file diffusion (SFD). The analytical calculation is formulated in terms of the Lagrangian correlation of density fluctuations. In addition, numerical solutions to the Langevin equation with large but finite interaction potential are studied to clarify the effect of overtaking. In the limiting case of the ideal SFD without overta...

It is found the existence of the cross-overs of VACF from t −d/2 to t −d in sheared fluids of elastic particles without any thermostat, and from t −d/2 to t −(d+2)/2 in both sheared fluids of elastic particles with a thermostat and sheared granular fluids, where d is the spatial dimension. The validity of the predictions has been confirmed by our numerical simulations.

Using the generalized fluctuating hydrodynamics, correlation functions for both the microscopic scale and the macroscopic scale are obtained.

We derive a generalized Green-Kubo formula and demonstrate that it yields the nonequilibrium steady-state average which is essentially independent of the choice of the initial condition. It is also shown that the fluctuating hydrodynamics can be derived from Mori-type equations for density and current-density fluctuations if one considers a weak-shear and small-dissipation limit along with the Markovian approximation.

We numerically determine the values of the critical fraction and the exponents for the jamming transition using a finite size scaling and the nonlinear minimization method known as the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. The exponents are close to our previous theoretical prediction, but there is a small discrepancy, if the critical point is independently determined. §1. Introduction Athermal disordered materials such as colloidal suspensions, 1) foams, 2) and granular materials 3) behave as dense liquids when the density is lower than a critical value, while they behave as amorphous solids when the density exceeds the critical value. This rigidity transition is known as the jamming transition, which could be a key concept to characterize disorder materials even for glassy materials. 4) Near the jamming transition point, such materials show critical behavior, where the pressure, the elastic moduli, and the characteristic frequency of the density of state exhibit power law dependences on the distance from the transition point. 5), 6), 7) In particular, the critical scaling law characterized by a set of critical exponents, similar to those in thermal critical phenomena, is observed in the rheology of athermal disordered materials, 8), 9), 10), 11), 12), 13), 14), 15), 16), 17) though the transition becomes discontinuous under the existence of friction for granular materials. 18) The precise values of the critical exponents, however, are still controversial because the values of them are inconsistent among the researchers. 8), 9), 10), 11), 12), 13), 14), 15), 16), 17), 18) In this paper, we try to numerically determine the critical exponents near the jamming transition for granular materials under the plane shear using a nonlinear minimization procedure and a finite size scaling for the critical fraction. The contents of this paper are organized as follows. Previous results for the critical rheology of athermal disordered materials are summarized in the next section. In § 3, the details of our numerical results are presented, where we explain models and their setup in § 3.1, and the critical fraction and the exponents are respectively determined in § 3.2 and § 3.3. In § 4, we discuss and conclude our results. §2. Review of scaling properties near the jamming transition Let us consider a sheared athermal system characterized by the packing fraction φ and the shear rateγ. We restrict our interest to systems consisting of repulsive particles in which the normal interaction force between contacting particles is pro

Research paper thumbnail of Analytical calculation of four-point correlations for a simple model of cages involving numerous particles

Physical Review E, 2013

Dynamics of a one-dimensional system of Brownian particles with short-range repulsive interaction... more Dynamics of a one-dimensional system of Brownian particles with short-range repulsive interaction (diameter σ) is studied with a liquid-theoretical approach. The mean square displacement, the two-particle displacement correlation, and the overlap-density-based generalized susceptibility are calculated analytically by way of the Lagrangian correlation of the interparticulate space, instead of the Eulerian correlation of density that is commonly used in the standard mode-coupling theory. In regard to the mean square displacement, the linear analysis reproduces the established result on the asymptotic subdiffusive behavior of the system. A finite-time correction is given by incorporating the effect of entropic nonlinearity with a Lagrangian version of mode-coupling theory. The notorious difficulty in derivation of the mode-coupling theory concerning violation of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem is found to disappear by virtue of the Lagrangian description. The Lagrangian description also facilitates analytical calculation of four-point correlations in the space-time, such as the twoparticle displacement correlation. The two-particle displacement correlation, which is asymptotically self-similar in the space-time, illustrates how the cage effect confines each particle within a short radius on one hand and creates collective motion of numerous particles on the other hand. As the time elapses, the correlation length grows unlimitedly, and the generalized susceptibility based on the overlap density converges to a finite value which is an increasing function of the density. The distribution function behind these dynamical four-point correlations and its extension to threedimensional cases, respecting the tensorial character of the two-particle displacement correlation, are also discussed.

The adoption of the continuous label variable as the spatial coordinate, inspired by the Lagrangian description in fluid mechanics, is shown to be effective in correct prediction of the anomalous diffusion, in which the mean square displacement of the particle grows in proportion to \sqrt{t}. The method is also applicable to the cases in which an external field is present. This suggests potential usefulness of the label variable formulation in describing the slow dynamics of glassy systems.
