This paper analyses the impact of collisions in a system of $N$ identical hard-core particles driven according to a velocity jump process. The physical space is essentially a channel in $\mathbb{R}$ with a probability of occupants being…
We consider the motion of a finite though large number $N$ of hard spheres in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^n$. Particles move freely until they experience elastic collisions. We use our recent theory of Compensated Integrability in order to…

Bubble-particle collisions in turbulence are central to a variety of processes such as froth flotation. Despite their importance, details of the collision process have not received much attention yet. This is compounded by the sometimes…
We expand on a recent study of a lattice model of interacting particles [Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 110601 (2013)]. The adsorption isotherm and equilibrium fluctuations in particle number are discussed as a function of the interaction. Their…
We investigate the probability distribution function of the free flight time and of the number of collisions in a hard sphere gas at equilibrium. At variance with naive expectation, the latter quantity does not follow Poissonian statistics,…
We present a method which extends Monte Carlo studies to situations that require a large dynamic range in particle number. The underlying idea is that, in order to calculate the collisional evolution of a system, some particle interactions…
