Abstract :
[en] We present an original experimental study of the slow compaction dynamics for two- dimensional isotropic granular systems. Compaction dynamics is measured at three different scales : the macroscopic scale through the normalized packing fraction ˜ ρ, the mesoscopic scale through the normalized fraction ˜ φ of domains ideally ordered in the system, and the microscopic scale through the grain mobility μ. The domains ideally ordered are found to obey a growth process dominated by the displacement of domain boundaries. We present also preliminary results of three-dimensional simulations with a model of contact dynamics. These results allow to discuss the difference between the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional cases.
