We consider a gas of $N$ identical hard spheres in the whole space, and we enforce the Boltzmann-Grad scaling. We may suppose that the particles are essentially independent of each other at some initial time; even so, correlations will be…

We explore the possibility of describing the main transport properties of a granular gas by means of a model consisting of elastic hard spheres under the action of a drag force that mimics the inelastic cooling of the granular gas. Direct…
In the current work we propose a theory for an additional mass diffusion effect in the conventional gas dynamics equations. We find that this effect appears as a homogenization time limit correction, when the deterministic interaction…
