Recent development in kinetic theory of granular materials: analysis and numerical methods

Analysis of PDEs 2020-01-31 v1 Numerical Analysis Numerical Analysis

Abstract

Over the past decades, kinetic description of granular materials has received a lot of attention in mathematical community and applied fields such as physics and engineering. This article aims to review recent mathematical results in kinetic granular materials, especially for those which arose since the last review by Villani on the same subject. We will discuss both theoretical and numerical developments. We will finally showcase some important open problems and conjectures by means of numerical experiments based on spectral methods.
