Figure 1

(a) Schematic drawing of the experimental apparatus used; (b) example of a regular arrangement of spheres. The box used to contain the spheres has the following measurements 0.635 cm × 0.635 cm × 4.7 cm (width × height × length) and the diameter of spheres used is 0.3175 cm; (c) velocities field for 3 layers of spheres.
