DESCRIPTION:A granular material forms a distinct and fascinating phase in 
 physics -- sand acts as a fluid as grains flow through your fingers\, the 
 fallen grains form a solid heap on the floor or may suspend in the wind li
 ke a gas. The continuous interaction between the different phases in granu
 lar flows creates a complicated material that cannot be characterized by s
 imple fluid or solid mechanics.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present cutting-e
 dge experimental research done on granular flows in DAMTP. We will look at
  avalanches and granular size segregation\, at different scales\, with the
  help of table-top and laboratory experiments done in the GK Batchelor Lab
 oratory.
