Chladni patterns explained by the space-dependent diffusion of bouncing grains

Although Chladni patterns are widely used to visualize the modes of vibration of an elastic plate, the mechanism by which the grains form the pattern is still debated. In this Letter, we suggest that the pattern results from space-dependent diffusion: grains gather where their diffusivity is low. We...
