[en] Binary mixtures of spherical particles is a well known topic in granular physics and mathematics. While the bulk density has been highly studied, the compaction dynamics of mixtures remains poorly investigated. In our work, we measured the compaction dynamics of various mixtures with different compositions of large and small particles and size ratios. We observed a diverging behaviour of the typical time of compaction depending on the size ratio.
