Abstract

The present work examines the translational and rotational dynamics, as well as their implications for system rheology, of an experimental granular system at an agitated air/water interface. A decoupling of rotational and translational dynamics is found. The translational dynamics is well-described by a modified Voigt model compatible to that obtained for prior simulational work, whereas the rotational motion alternates between two distinct states. The latter behaviour is accounted for in terms of collective effects at the edges.
