CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION
• Assuming that cyclic fluidization occurs, for a granular system subjected to vertical sinusoidal vibrations, we have formulated a simple quantitative model for reverse buoyancy.
• The model gives the rising and the sinking velocity of an spherical intruder as a function of the ratio between the density of the object and that of the medium.
• We obtain a very good qualitative and quantitative agreement between the theoretical model proposed and our experimental findings.
