Abstract
Cracks formed in drying granule water mixtures, e.g., soils, are ubiquitous phenomena, but details remain still unclear. Recently, the crack patterns formed in drying starch water mixtures have attracted considerable attention for their likeness to columnar joints. Intriguing columnar joints has fascinated many people for centuries and are studied mainly by field works in geology. By studying detail nature of drying cracks and comparing them with columnar joints, progress in understanding both phenomena is expected.
