Abstract
Extremely useful techniques exist to observe the interior of deforming opaque materials, but these methods either require that the sample is replaced with a model material or that the motion is stopped intermittently. For example, X-ray computed tomography cannot measure the continuous flow of materials due to the significant scanning time required for density reconstruction. Here we resolve this technological gap with an alternative X-ray method that does not require such tomographs. Instead our approach uses correlation analysis of successive high-speed radiographs from just three directions to directly reconstruct three-dimensional velocities. When demonstrated on a steady granular system, we discover a compressible flow field that has planar streamlines despite curved confining boundaries, in surprising contrast to Newtonian fluids. More generally, our new X-ray technique can be applied using synchronous source/detector pairs to investigate transient phenomena in various soft matter such as biological tissues, geomaterials and foams.
