Kinetic theory (KT) has been successfully used to model rapid granular flows in which particle interactions are frictionless and near elastic. However, it fails when particle interactions become frictional and inelastic. For example, the KT…

We develop a kinetic theory of point vortices in two-dimensional hydrodynamics taking collective effects into account. We first recall the approach of Dubin & O'Neil [Phys. Rev. Lett. 60, 1286 (1988)] that leads to a Lenard-Balescu-type…
