A peculiarity of the hydrodynamic Navier-Stokes equations for a granular gas is the modification of the Fourier law, with the presence of an additional contribution to the heat flux that is proportional to the density gradient.…
We show a case of steady flow in a granular gas that, for small shear rates, is accurately described by Navier-Stokes hydrodynamics, even for high inelasticity. The (low density) granular gas is composed of identical inelastic spheres and…

The Navier-Stokes equations are the governing equations of fluid flows. They are deemed to embody all physics in a flow of Newtonian fluids like water, especially when we assume the fluid is incompressible. Fluid flows are usually described…
The restriction of hydrodynamics to non-viscous, potential (gradient, irrotational) flows is a theory both simple and elegant; a favorite topic of introductory textbooks. It is known that this theory can be formulated as an action principle…
